Defect Summary:
Badass Helmet Company (Badass) is recalling certain Trooper motorcycle helmets, model TR001.6, in
sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and 2XL.
These helmets may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a head impact during
a motorcycle crash and they may not stay secured to the rider's head.
Additionally, the label inside the helmet may be incorrect in that it does not list the
actual helmet manufacturer and does not list the model of the helmet.
As such, these helmets fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
Consequence Summary:
A helmet that fails to meet the safety requirements can increase the risk of injury
in the event of a crash.
Corrective Summary:
The remedy for this recall is still under development.
The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
Owners may contact Badass customer service at 1-866-334-3563.
