WRSI recalls whitewater kayaking and rafting helmets with a failing chinstrap buckle that risks head injury. Consumers must stop using immediately and get a free replacement or refund.
The chinstrap buckle can fail, posing a head injury hazard to users.
WRSI is recalling whitewater kayaking and rafting helmets because the chinstrap buckle can fail, potentially causing head injuries. This affects specific color and size combinations of Moment and Trident models sold between 2020 and 2023.
The chinstrap buckle can fail under normal use, leading to the helmet becoming loose or coming off during activity. This increases the risk of head injury from impacts with water or obstacles.
Whitewater kayakers and rafters who own the recalled Moment or Trident helmets are affected. Those using the helmets without a secure chinstrap are at highest risk.
Look for helmets with a black chinstrap and black plastic buckle. Check the part number on the hang tag and verify the color and size listed in the recall notice.
Immediately stop using the recalled helmets as they pose a head injury hazard.
Reach out to WRSI for a free replacement or full refund of the helmet.
Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact WRSI for a free replacement or full refund.
