Reported risk: These are 1.2 million padlocks and 800,000 cable gun locks that bear the "Ruger" name. Ruger began its voluntary lock replacement program in March 2001. Consumers should always be sure to obey all laws and follow appropriate safety procedures when storing their firearms. Consumers are reminded to make sure their unloaded gun is secure until the new replacement lock is received. Hazards: The padlocks can be opened using keys other than those originally provided with the locks and the cable locks can be opened if struck with force, potentially allowing unauthorized access to a firearm.
