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, posing a risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Ultimate Leather Apparel Inc is recalling certain Zone HS1100 motorcycle helmets manufactured between 2014 and 2016. The recall covers models HS1100-D1, HS1100-D2, HS1100-D3, HS1100-D5, HS1100-FLAT, HS1100-REBEL, and HS1100-SHINY in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and 2XL. Approximately 6,848 units are affected.
