    Remington has determined that two specific lot codes of Remington 22 Thunderbolt® ammunition may contain rounds with an insufficient crimp on the bullet. This issue is specific only to lot numbers: S22BB1237 and S22BC1237. Handling or loading this 22 Thunderbolt® ammunition could result in the separation of the bullet from the shell casing. In certain situations, this occurrence could render the firearm inoperable.

    I can't find the lot number on my 50 round boxes.

    Open the flap that's green and yellow. There should be an inkless stamp on the inside of the flap. Easier seen if held up to a light. Might need to rub over it with a pencil to see better.
