Fulmer recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Fulmer Helmets, Inc. (Fulmer) is recalling certain motorcycle helmets, models AF-80, AF-81, and AF-82, sizes medium, large, XL, and 2XL. During testing, the affected 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
Fulmer will replace any helmet or offer a reimbursement for any noncompliant helmet. The recall began on April 1, 2013. Owners may contact Fulmer toll-free at 1-800-489-2300.
