What is wrong
Tegol, Inc. (Tegol) is recalling certain motorcycle helmets, models AX-30010 Outlaw Carbon Tech Glossy, AX-30020 Outlaw Carbon Tech Matte, and AX-30030 Outlaw Carbon Tech Red, all sizes. The helmets fail to conform to the impact attenuation, penetration, labeling, and retention requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
What could happen
By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.
The fix
Tegol will notify owners and will either replace any noncompliant helmet or offer a full refund. The recall began on January 14, 2013. Owners may contact Tegol's recall Hotline toll-free at 1-866-371-0281.
