Description of the Safety Risk : Any other helmets that are part of the recall population carry the risk of
serious head injury
Description of the Cause : In the case of the labeling failure, the cause was a missed update to the labeling
requirements of FMVSS-218.
In the case of the retention system failure there is uncertainty as to why the
sample helmet failed in the contract lab, but never before during a large
number of production batch tests performed in strict accord with FMVSS-218.
In the case of the Retention failure the fabricating manufacturer can only
assume that the retention system was not placed properly by the workshop
that was reponsible for manufacturing it in Early 2019.
In the case of the Impact Attenuation failure we do not know as to why the
sample helmet failed in the contract lab, but never before during a large
number of production batch tests performed in strict accord with FMVSS-218.
In the case of the Imapct failure. The manufacturer can only assume that the
Shell of the helmet had a previous un known defect during manufacturing it in

In an abundance of caution, we are proposing to recall all helmets
manufactured after that date.
