Head USA is recalling approximately 260 ski and snowboard helmets across six models: Agent, Alia, Andor, Arise, Arosa, and Avril. These helmets fail to meet federal safety impact requirements, which means they may not provide adequate protection during a fall or collision. The recalled helmets were sold in sizes M/L and XL/XXL in various colors including black, blue, green, white, and yellow between January 2015 and December 2015. Consumers should stop using these helmets immediately and contact Head USA for a free replacement.
The helmets do not comply with impact safety standards, meaning the shell and foam may not sufficiently absorb shock during an impact. This defect significantly increases the risk of a serious head injury if a wearer falls or crashes while skiing or snowboarding.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Head USA to receive a free replacement helmet.
