Plain-English summary

1888653 Ontario Inc. is recalling certain EVOS Full Face Modular Helmets, model number ST-818-6F-L, size Large. The affected units were manufactured between June 8, 2014, and July 10, 2014. A total of 338 units are subject to this recall.

The helmets may not adequately protect the wearer's head in the event of an impact. Additionally, the helmets may be missing or have incomplete information regarding the manufacturer's name, as well as the words "Certified" and "FMVSS No. 218." Consequently, these helmets fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

Helmets that do not properly protect the wearer's head can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Missing labeling information also reduces the user's ability to identify the helmet in the event of a safety recall. The company will notify owners and offer a full refund. The recall began on August 1, 2016. Owners may contact 1888653 Ontario customer service at 1-416-848-0673 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
