Louis Garneau recalls 1,200 Course model helmets
Helmets sold between Dec. 2015 and Dec. 2017 don’t meet impact test
Louis Garneau has issued a voluntary recall of select Course model helmets sold between December 2015 and December 2017. About 550 of the helmets were sold in Canada, and another 650 in the U.S. during that two year period. No incidents have beer reported in either country.
The recall applies only to matte colour Course helmets which, though they met all CPSC requirements at the time of manufacturing, the company states in its recall notice, might be exposed to a degradation of the plastic shell over time, potentially affecting safety.
Louis Garneau has requested consumers stop using the helmet immediately and contact the company for information on how to receive a replacement. The Louis Garneau customer support line can be reached at 1-800-463-8356 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, and customers can also contact L.G. through services@louisgarneau.com or through its website at garneau.com
