The defect

The risk
Helmets that do not comply with minimum safety standards may not offer the protection intended by the safety standards and accordingly increase the risk of injury to the user in the event of a crash.
The remedy
Tegol will notify owners, and owners will be offered a full refund, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. For more information about the recall, owners should contact Leather Up customer service at 1-866-371-0281.
