Winchester ammo recall

[Woody Williams]

Maybe y'all already know this but in case you don't:

From the current (April 2014) issue of _American Rifleman_, p30:

Olin Corporation, through its Winchester Division, is
recalling two lots of M-22, .22 Long Rifle, 40-gr.
black copper-plated round-nose rimfire ammunition.

Symbol Number: S22LRT
Lot Numbers: GD42L
and GD52L

Winchester has determined the above lots of .22 Long
Rifle ammunition may contain double powder charges.
Ammunition with double powder charges may subject the
shooter or bystanders to a risk of serious personal
injury and/or death, or cause firearm damage, rendering
the firearm inoperable. To determine if your ammunition
is subject to this notice, review the Symbol Number and
Lot Number. The ammunition Lot Number is imprinted
(stamped without ink) on the left tuck flap of the
500-round carton. The 1,000-round intermediate carton
does not havea Lot Number. If it is Symbol Number S22LRT
with a Lot Number [sic] containing GD42L or GD52L,
immediately discontinue use and contact Winchester at
[phone] or visit online at <winchester.com> to
arrange for free pick-up of the recalled ammunition.

Well, I've done my good deed for the day...

When you arrange for free pick up of the recalled ammo, are they going to be arranging for free delivery of replacement ammo? With the supply problems of .22lr ammo, and the corresponding prices, I hope that's the case vs. "We'll send you a coupon for replacement".
