What was recalled

Strategic Sports, Ltd. (Strategic Sports) is recalling certain Zox Nano Helmets sizes XL through XXXXXL, with manufacture dates of February 2013 and March 2013.

What to do

Strategic Sports will notify owners and refund the purchase price of the helmets. Owners may contact Strategic Sports at helmet.recall.info@gmail.com.. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
