Reebok Hockey Helmets Recalled

Reebok Recall Hockey Helmets Due To A Injury Hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Reebok-CCM Hockey U.S. Inc., of Montpelier, Vermont, has just issued a recall of about 1,000 Reebok Hockey Helmets due to a head and neck injury hazard. The recalled hockey helmets were manufactured in Canada. The helmet’s chinstrap can unexpectedly disengage while in use, which can cause the helmet to fall off, posing a head and neck injury risk to consumers, said the CPSC. To date, no injuries have been reported.

This Reebok Hockey Helmet recall involves the RBK and CCM brand hockey helmets reported the CPSC, which noted that the recalled Reebok Hockey Helmets bear a HECC sticker with date code JUN – 2013. The HECC stickers and model numbers are located on the back of the helmets. The recalled Reebok Hockey Helmets were sold at sporting goods stores nationwide and via Internet retailers from May 2008 through July 2008 and retailed for between $80 and $200.
