Alpine ski helmet

  • Brand Carrera

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

What happened

Carrera Alpine ski helmets in red, silver, or blue colors with the model name "PRORACE 2001" do not adequately protect against impact. Testing showed that the helmets' shock-absorbing capacity fails to meet European safety standards when subjected to low-temperature impact testing on the crown of the helmet, with peak acceleration exceeding safe limits. The affected helmets are labeled "CARRERA" inside and out, include a CE mark, and bear article numbers E001703GQ, E001702BX, or E001705BM, with batch code 65061080 and barcode 221801113.

The distributor has voluntarily stopped selling the product. The source document does not specify what consumers who already own these helmets should do.

Written by software from the official notice below. Not reviewed by a lawyer.

Hazard

The product poses a risk of injuries because the shock absorbing capacity test (low temperature, impact zone crown) shows that the peak acceleration exceeds 250 g. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 1077.
