The defect
WSB Inc (WSB) is recalling certain SC101 half-helmets, in all sizes, manufactured January 1, 2018 to January 31, 2018. The affected helmets may not adequately protect the wearer's head in the event of an impact, and an object may penetrate the helmet. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
The risk
Helmets that do properly protect the wearer's head can increase the risk of injury to the wearer in the event of a crash.
The remedy
WSB will notify owners and replace the helmets or refund the owners, free of charge. Owners may contact WSB customer service at 1-855-322-3733.
