Tong Ho Hsing Industrial Co. is recalling 342 Hawk AP-80 motorcycle helmets, part number T378, size M.
The helmets may not protect a user adequately in the event of a head impact during a crash. As such, they fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
Helmets that do not adequately protect the wearer increase their risk of injury in the event of a crash.
What to do
The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall is expected to begin in August 2016.
Owners may contact Tong Ho Hsing Industrial customer service at 1-978-483-8072.
