I got this off my email, sorry for all caps
but that was the way it was sent.
SUBJECT:HECKLER & KOCH USP .45 CALIBER PISTOL WARNING
TWO LOS ANGELES COUNTY POLICE OFFICERS RECENTLY EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC FAILURES OF THEIR USP .45 CALIBER PISTOLS DURING FIRING PRACTICE. FORTUNATELY
NEITHER OFFICER WAS INJURED. THE FRAMES OF BOTH PISTOLS WERE DESTROYED UPON FIRING THE CARTRIDGE IN THE CHAMBER. ONE FRAME WAS BLOWN INTO PIECES, THE OTHER FRACTURED ON BOTH SIDES. INSPECTION OF THE AMMUNITION USED IN BOTH INCIDENTS REVEALED THAT RELOADED AMMUNITION WAS USED.
HECKLER & KOCH ADVISES AGAINST USING RELOADED OR REMANUFACTURED AMMUNITION IN THEIR PISTOLS. USP PISTOLS ARE DESIGNED TO FUNCTION WITH QUALITY FACTORY LOADED AMMUNITION ONLY.
ALL OFFICERS THAT UTILIZE H&K USP PISTOLS ARE URGED TO USE ONLY QUALITY FACTORY LOADED AMMUNITION IN THEIR PISTOLS. FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE MAY BE OBTAINED BY CONTACTING...
Sorry the contact information is being withheld.
