Defect:

H&h sports protection (h&h sports) is recalling certain vcan v531 motorcycle helmets in sizes xs, s, m, l, xl, and xxl. the helmet straps may not be properly sewn and, as a result, the helmets may not stay secured to the rider's head in the event of a crash. additionally, the labels have an incorrect manufacturer's name. as such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 218, "motorcycle helmets."

Consequence:

A helmet that does not remain secured to the rider's head will not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The affected helmets were sold through amazon. h&h sports will notify the owners, and instruct them to return the helmets to amazon. a complete refund of the purchase price and shipping costs will be provided free of charge. the recall began august 7, 2018. owners may contact amazon customer service at 1-888-280-4331 or h&h sports customer service at 1-626-444-0107 or by email at v531recall@hhsportsprotection.com. .
