Remington Ammunition has determined that some boxes of Remington Premier AccuTip Slugs may contain shells that are loaded with an incorrect propellant. Owners of the ammunition should not use them until they check to determine those they have on hand are not part of the limited number included in this safety recall.

Examples of both locations can be seen in the above image, provided by Remington Ammunition.
