What happened

The affected helmets do not meet federal safety standards for helmet retention.

If you own one of these recalled helmets, you should contact Helmet City customer service at 1-888-550-3731. The company will replace your model 115 helmet with a model 100 helmet at no charge. The recall began on February 19, 2016.
