Ultimate Leather is recalling Zone HS1100 motorcycle helmets manufactured between 2014 and 2016 because they may not adequately protect the wearer in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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.
