The risk
By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.
The remedy
Fuel will notify distributors and will either replace any noncompliant helmet or offer a full refund. The safety recall began during November 2012. Owners may contact Fuel at 1-800-971-4630.
