Pro-Tec is recalling approximately 4,600 City Lite and Street Lite adult multisport helmets because the chin strap buckle can fail to meet federal safety standards. This defect can prevent the helmet from staying properly secured during an impact, increasing the risk of head injury. The affected helmets were sold in sizes S, M, L, and XL at specialty sports stores and online through Amazon and Pro-Tec's website between February 2016 and January 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these helmets and return them to Pro-Tec for a full refund.
The plastic buckle on the chin strap can fail to remain fastened during an accident or fall. If the buckle breaks or releases unexpectedly, the helmet may come off, leaving the user without head protection during an impact.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and return them to Pro-Tec for a full refund.
