  • Brand JT USA Inc., of Chula Vista, Calif.

What happened

JT USA Inc. is recalling Proteus paint ball masks because the plastic facemask can crack around the ear cover when struck by a paint ball. If the mask cracks in this way, it may come off the wearer's face, potentially causing eye injuries. The recall affects two model numbers: 50085090201 (which includes a cooling fan) and 50105090201 (which does not include a fan). Both models are gray with clear plastic ear covers, and only masks with clear ear covers are included in this recall.

Consumers who own a recalled Proteus mask should stop using it immediately and return it to JT USA for a free replacement mask.
