Acc recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Advanced carbon composites (ACC) is recalling all model ext-001, ext-002, and ext-003 motorcycle helmets, sizes s/m, m/l, and l/xl. These helmets fail to conform to the penetration, impact attenuation, and/or labeling requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 218, "motorcycle helmets."
What could happen
In the event of a crash, the helmet will not adequately protect the wearer of the helmet, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
This company is out of business. Please see "other recall related documents."
