3M is recalling about 40,000 Peltor X4 series earmuffs because the plastic cups can develop cracks. These noise-reducing earmuffs, designed for industrial use, were sold in black with green or orange accents in several styles including over-the-head and hard-hat attached models. While no injuries have been reported, these cracks can compromise the hearing protection provided. Consumers should stop using the recalled earmuffs and contact 3M to receive a free replacement with free shipping.
The colored plastic portion of the earmuff cups can develop cracks, which allows loud sounds and noise to bypass the protective barrier. This poses a risk of overexposure to loud noise, which can lead to hearing damage or loss.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled earmuffs and contact 3M to receive free replacement earmuffs, including free shipping.
The manufacture date is located on the outside of the earcups in MM/YYYY format.
