The recalled helmets were sold or factory-reconditioned between May 1, 2015, and March 18, 2016, and were available in various colors and custom designs. Consumers should immediately stop using these helmets and contact Xenith for a free replacement.
The polycarbonate shell of the helmet can crack upon impact, compromising its ability to protect the wearer's head. Xenith has received 29 reports of helmets cracking, although no injuries have been reported to date.
Football players should immediately stop using the recalled helmets. Players, coaches and parents should contact Xenith to receive a free new replacement helmet.
The serial number is printed on a white sticker inside the top of the helmet.
