What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (motorcycle helmets) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Zhejiang Jixiang Motorcycle Fittings Co., Ltd. is recalling certain motorcycle half helmets, model JX-B210, in sizes Large and XL, manufactured in 2008. These helmets failed to conform to the impact attenuation, penetration, labeling, and retention requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

Wearing a noncompliant helmet may not provide adequate protection in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury. The recalled helmets are no longer produced by the manufacturer, and Zhejiang does not have end-user information, so owner notifications will not be sent.

Owners may contact their US agent, Precision Global Resource, LLC, at 1-909-638-9040. A remedy plan has not been provided. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
