Pro-Tec Recalls Multisport Helmets Due to Risk of Head Injury

Is my product affected?

Multisport helmets

  • Brand Pro-Tec, a division of Bravo Sports, of Santa Fe Springs, Calif.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Pro-Tec is recalling City Lite and Street Lite adult multisport helmets because the plastic chin strap buckles fail to meet current federal safety standards and pose a risk of head injury. The recalled helmets were sold in sizes S, M, L, and XL and have buckles marked "ERGO-LOK" with the "UTX D-FLEX" logo. They can be identified by the model name printed on a label inside the helmet and a date code in MM/DD/YYYY-090EO format on the EPS liner. The City Lite model came in rubber black and gloss white, while the Street Lite model came in rubber black, rubber red, and gloss white, with two vent holes in the back (the left one containing either an LED light or plastic insert).

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and return them to Pro-Tec for a full refund.
