16E033000
Equipment:motorcycle:helmets
Reported Apr 8, 2016 · Soaring Helmet Corporation
Summary
Soaring Helmet Corporation (Soaring) is recalling certain Stealth Phantom helmets, part numbers 8300 and 8351, in sizes extra small through XXL, in all sizes and graphics, manufactured April 1, 2013, to December 30, 2014. The affected helmets may not adequately protect the wearer from penetration injuries in the event of a crash. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
Consequence
By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy
Since the helmet purchasers are unknown, a notification was placed on the Stealth website on May 4, 2016. Retailers will exchange the helmets for a different Stealth helmet or offer a refund, free of charge. Owners may contact Soaring at 1-425-656-0683.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
