Head USA is recalling six ski and snowboard helmet models because they don't meet safety standards, which could lead to head injuries. Affected customers should stop using the helmets and get a free replacement.
The helmets do not meet safety standards for impact resistance, meaning they might not protect against head injuries during accidents. This risk is especially concerning for people who use them in activities where falls or collisions could happen.
Ski and snowboard users who own any of the six recalled helmet models (Agent, Alia, Andor, Arise, Arosa, or Avril) are affected. Riders with helmets sold in the U.S. from December 2014 are most at risk.
Check for a sticker on the helmet lining above the right earpiece with the brand 'HEAD', model name, size (M/L or XL/XXL), and 'Production Code: Dec. 2014'.
Immediately stop using the recalled helmets as they pose a risk of head injury.
Contact Head USA to receive a free replacement helmet.
