Helmet Recalls
Helmet recalls occur worldwide when a helmet is found to be faulty, does not comply with national safety standards, or other safety reasons. Recalls are initiated either by the manufacturer or the relevant government department responsible for consumer safety.
Helmet recalls should never leave the consumer out of pocket, and should at all times be taken seriously as a health and safety precaution.
