Reebok Goalie Throat Collars Recalled for Laceration Hazard

Plain-English summary

Reebok-CCM is recalling approximately 3,300 Reebok TCPRE Senior and Junior Goalie Throat Collars in the United States and 8,100 in Canada. The recall was initiated because the collars were decertified by BNQ in Canada due to a risk that a skate blade could penetrate the collar, creating a laceration hazard to the throat.

The affected products are black with white trim and feature the word "Reebok" embroidered at the base. They display the BNQ certification mark and the text "Ballistic Nylon Ballistique" along with sizing information on the right side. The model numbers K101SR TCPRE or K101JR TCPRE are located on the label sewn inside the pad and on the outside of the polybag. These items were sold at retail stores nationwide from April 2012 through May 2014 for approximately $50 for the Senior model and $40 for the Junior model.

Reebok-CCM has not received any reports of product-related injuries or complaints from consumers or retailers. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled throat collars. They can return the product to a local hockey dealer for a full refund or replacement, or contact Reebok-CCM directly for a replacement or full refund.
