Factory Ammo Date Code Problem??

Here is the question:

I have been asked to examine a possible faulty ammo issue that caused injury to the shooter when the pistol barrel exploded across the chamber. The ammo is from a major manufacturer, however, the box indicates a date/batch code 8+ months after the incident acutually happened. Allegedly, the injured shooter purchased the box of ammo directly from a retail chain. Has anyone ever encountered erronious date/batch codes on factory ammo boxes or should I be looking elsewhere? Any information helpful.

Does the shooter have ANY other ammo around the house that might have been mixed up with that box? What kind of pistol? Manufacturer? Lots to look at besides the ammo in question. JMHO
