What happened

Matrix Headgear Ltd is recalling certain Alpha motorcycle helmets in all sizes due to problems with the helmet retention system that may cause the helmet to separate from the wearer's head during a crash. Additionally, these helmets may not provide adequate protection in a head impact during a crash, which means they do not meet federal safety standards for motorcycle helmets.

If you own one of these recalled Alpha helmets, you should contact Matrix customer service at info@matrixhelmets.com. Matrix will notify owners and reimburse the cost of the helmet as part of the recall, which began on January 8, 2020.
