I don't understand the coding. Regardless of the rest of the 7 or 8 numbers.....any powder with the last digits on the recall is bad? How do you know what year it was bought before or after? Are they saying those numbers will never ne used ahain?

 

[Unclenick]

Yes. You don't need to know the year, just the one or two-digit lot number that follows the 6 digits of the product number. They won't have included the lot numbers in the notice if they weren't made inside the suspect time frame. I'm just surprised they go back as far as 2 for all those powders.

Understand that lots can be multiple train car quantities the distributer uses as stock, sometimes lasting for years, so if a simple serial lot numbering is used, it's not surprising that some lots last for years and that over a period of decades the lot numbers are still only one or two digits.

Tks Unclenick - so I guess the lot numbers will continue as;
123456X
123456XX and eventually
123456XXX

 

[Unclenick]

Yep. That's it as near as I can tell.
