Summary

Micro DOT Helmet Co. is recalling approximately 19,000 Blister and Twister original helmets in sizes XXS through XXL. These helmets fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218 because they may lack proper penetration protection. A helmet that does not provide adequate protection increases the risk of a head injury during a crash. Micro DOT will replace the affected helmets with a compliant model free of charge.
