Rollerblade USA Recalls Helmets Due to Head Injury Hazard

Agency Publication Date: April 13, 2016

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Rollerblade USA is recalling about 500 Maxxum black inline skating helmets. The plastic shell of the helmet can crack at the strap attachment points, which may cause the helmet to shift or fall off during use. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using these helmets and contact Rollerblade for a full refund. These helmets were sold nationwide at sporting goods stores and online through retailers like Amazon from November 2014 to January 2016.

Risk

If the helmet shell cracks where the straps are attached, the helmet can move or shift out of position on the wearer's head, failing to provide protection during a fall and increasing the risk of a head injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your helmet to see if it is a black Rollerblade brand Maxxum helmet with 'Rollerblade' printed on the side and a white inline skate logo on the back.
  2. Look at the label on the inside of the helmet for model number 'YJ-219' and a production date of October 2014 or earlier.
  3. If you still have the packaging, verify if SKU number 06520210100 is printed on the box.
  4. Immediately stop using the recalled helmet.
  5. Contact Rollerblade USA at 800-232-7655 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email RCS@Rollerblade.com to receive instructions on how to obtain a full refund.
  6. Visit www.rollerblade.com and click on 'Product Recall' for additional information and refund procedures.
