WSB SC101 Motorcycle Helmets Recalled for Impact Protection Failure

WSB Inc is recalling SC101 half-helmets manufactured in January 2018 because they may not adequately protect the wearer's head during an impact.

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 safety-critical product (motorcycle helmet) that fails to meet federal safety standards for impact protection, posing a risk of head injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

WSB Inc is recalling approximately 1,567 SC101 half-helmets in all sizes. These helmets were manufactured between January 1, 2018, and January 31, 2018. The recall is due to a defect where the helmets may not adequately protect the wearer's head in the event of an impact, and an object may penetrate the helmet. As a result, these helmets fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

The defective helmets can increase the risk of injury to the wearer in the event of a crash. WSB Inc will notify owners and replace the helmets or refund the owners, free of charge. Owners may contact WSB customer service at 1-855-322-3733. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
