While there has been no recall I probably would not recommend buying old stock of Hesco 4600's that dealers may have on hand. This is coming from myself, a Hesco distributor. Also doesn't help that the NIJ has closed testing due to COVID so re-cert of these plates are going to be further delayed.

Right now there is kind of a gap in terms of capability on the market w/o the 4600. It fit a very nice price point of mid range cost w/ decent weight. I've been having a lot more folks buying single plates of 4800's at a time and save for the second one down the road and a lot of folks are pretty thrilled once they get a sub 5 lb IV plate in their hands.
