Product description
Riding helmet with removable peak and web harness.
Reasons the product is recalled
The outer ABS shell has not been glued sufficiently to the inner EPS liner in production.
The hazards to consumers
The outer shell can be pulled apart from the liner manually, therefore not offering the full protection to the rider if there was a fall.
What consumers should do
Return the helmet to the retail store of purchase for assessment.
(The fault is occurring only on Chinese made helmets so the helmets have to be checked to see if they are Chinese or New Zealand made. If New Zealand made, the helmet can be kept by the consumer.)
