Head USA is recalling about 1,365 pairs of ski boots because the fluorescent yellow plastic parts can deteriorate and break during use. This defect can cause the boot shell or sole to fail, potentially leading to a fall and serious injury. The recall includes various models manufactured between 2016 and 2022, sold at ski retailers nationwide for between $500 and $750. Consumers should stop using these boots immediately to avoid the risk of a fall.
The fluorescent yellow materials used in the boot shell and sole inserts can weaken over time and crack or shatter. If the boot breaks while skiing, the user could lose control or their binding could release unexpectedly, causing a fall and potential injury.
Consumers should stop using the recalled ski boots immediately and contact Head USA or a Head authorized retailer. For recalled boots with fluorescent boot shell materials, Head will provide free replacement boots in a newer equivalent model upon return of the recalled boots. For recalled boots with yellow sole inserts, Head will provide free replacement sole inserts, which can be installed by the consumer or by a ski shop.
