Hi Everyone,
I just got a letter for a recall of my helmet. In case some of y'all didn't register yours and didn't get the letter, here are the details:
Helmets:
Boneyard, Flame, Eagle & Double Eagle
ALL 100 & 200 series helmets manufactured from June 2006 to September 2007
Recall:
Helmets tested failed Impact Attenuation & Penetration tests
What to do:
The manufacturer has guaranteed replacement. Bring the helmet back to the store you bought it from for an exchange or refund.

Rich - are those helmets the style? If so, who is the manufacturer?

Yes, the style, they are made by POW... they are the 3-D graphic helmets mostly sold on eBay. I bought 3 of them, the Eagle, Double Eagle and Boneyard to match 3 scoots...

Which leads to the question, "What the heck do you do if you bought it off e-bay?"

You contact the seller and inform them of the recall... the recall is from the manufacturer and they will replace any helmets to the dealers... of course we all know that most of the dealers on eBay are bogus, but I bought mine from a real dealer who is willing to replace them.

Oh, you all know that you can only buy safety gear from a real dealer, right?

Uhhh... no... didn't know that. So the site links in the accessories thread shouldn't be used?

I don't know, but I don't buy from any unauthorized dealers when it comes to safety gear for this exact reason. Had I bought from one, I would have never gotten the official notice in the mail as required by the NHTSA.
If you're going to buy safety gear, always ask if they're an authorized dealer first.

Are these the same as the VCAN ones I read about being recalled in a cycle magazine?
