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

Plain-English summary

Nexxpro-Fabrica de Capacetes, S.A. is recalling certain NEXX X.G10 helmets in sizes M and S. These helmets may have been manufactured without an extra carbon layer, which means they may not provide adequate protection in the event of a head impact during a crash. As a result, these helmets fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."

A helmet that does not provide adequate impact protection increases the risk of injury during a crash. The recall affects 18 units of the specified helmets.

Nexxpro will replace the affected helmets free of charge. Owners may contact Nexxpro customer service at 1-800-461-1226. 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.nhtsa.gov.
