3M is recalling approximately 7,500 vented hard hats sold under the 3M, 3M Tekk Protection, and AOSafety brands because they were marketed as providing protection against electric shock when they do not. The white hard hats feature eight ventilation slits on each side of the crown and were sold exclusively online at Alliedelec.com, Amazon.com, and HomeDepot.com between January 2008 and April 2016. Consumers who purchased these for electrical protection should stop using them and contact 3M for a free replacement.
The hard hats contain ventilation slits that allow electricity to pass through, posing a serious risk of electric shock to users who rely on them for electrical safety. While no injuries have been reported, the product fails to provide the advertised electrical insulation.
Consumers who purchased the hard hats online for protection against electrical shock should immediately stop using them and contact 3M for a free replacement hard hat.
