Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Active Brands AS is recalling about 300 Sweet Protection-branded Ripper Jr., Ripper MIPS Jr., and Ripper MIPS bicycle helmets. These helmets do not comply with U.S. CPSC federal safety standards and were originally intended only for the European market. They were sold in various matte colors at Evo and Rogers Ski and Sport stores and online through Expert Voice Pro Purchase between February 2020 and June 2020. Consumers should immediately stop using these helmets and contact Active Brands for a full refund.

Risk

The helmets fail to meet federal safety standards for impact protection, which means they may not protect a rider's head during a crash, significantly increasing the risk of serious head injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the model name on the label located on the rear back side of your helmet to see if it is a 'Ripper Jr.', 'Ripper MIPS Jr.', or 'Ripper MIPS'.
  2. Look inside the helmet for a manufacturing label that lists 2019 as the production year and a month number between 9 and 12.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled helmet and return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
  4. Alternatively, contact Active Brands AS at 800-364-4385 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, email orders.na@activebrands.com, or visit www.sweetprotection.com and click 'Safety Notices' for refund instructions.
  5. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this safety recall.
