Tms recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Buy4easy Inc. (Buy4easy) is recalling certain TMS HY-809 motorcycle half-helmets, sizes S, M, L, anf XL, manufactured March 20, 2012, to October 31, 2012. The affected motorcycle helmets may insufficiently dampen impacts. Additionally, the helmets may be missing, or have incomplete, manufacturing dates and instructions to the purchaser. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 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
Buy4easy will notify owners and will offered a full refund. The recall began on May 6, 2015. Owners may contact Buy4easy customer service at 1-626-388-9898.
