Rawlings is recalling about 1,400 CHMACH-SR Senior Catcher's Helmets because the back plate can fail to provide adequate protection. While no injuries have been reported, the defect significantly increases the risk of a head injury during play. These plastic helmets were sold in four color combinations (black/white, green/white, navy/white, and red/white) at sporting goods stores and online between July 2018 and September 2019. Depending on your head size, Rawlings will provide either a free replacement back plate or a full refund.
The helmet's back plate can fail to absorb impacts or remain secure, leaving the player's head vulnerable to direct strikes from baseballs or equipment.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled catcher's helmets and contact Rawlings to receive a free replacement back plate for head sizes 7.5 and below or a full refund for head sizes above 7.5.
