Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Honeywell is recalling approximately 82,500 Fibre-Metal E2 and North Peak A79 hard hats because they can fail to protect the user from impact. These safety hats were sold in various colors at industrial distributors and online at Amazon.com between April 2016 and January 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these hard hats and contact Honeywell to receive a product credit or voucher for the full purchase price.

Risk

The recalled hard hats do not provide the necessary level of impact protection, which can lead to serious head injuries if a user is struck by a falling or flying object. No injuries have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the underside of your hard hat's brim to identify the brand and mold identification number. Only Fibre-Metal E2 and North Peak A79 hard hats are included.
  2. For North Peak A79 models, verify if the mold identification number is '4'. Only mold number 4 for this model is affected.
  3. Locate the date code clock on the underside of the brim. The numbers around the circle represent the month, the arrow points to the month of manufacture, and the numbers next to the arrow represent the year.
  4. Confirm if your Fibre-Metal E2 hard hat was manufactured in April 2016, May 2016, December 2017, or January 2018.
  5. Confirm if your North Peak A79 (mold #4) was manufactured between April 2016 and January 2018.
  6. Immediately stop using any hard hat that matches these identifying details.
  7. Contact Honeywell toll-free at 888-212-6903 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.honeywellsafety.com (click on Voluntary Product Recall) to receive a product credit or voucher.
