James Limbach Reporter

Darsan Trading Co., doing business as Helmet City, is recalling 450 HCI 100 matt black motorcycle helmets in size XL.

The helmets may not adequately protect the wearer in the event of a head impact during a motorcycle crash. Additionally, they do not list the month and year of manufacturer as required by law.

A helmet that does not adequately protect the wearer from an impact in a crash can increase the risk of injury.

What to do

HCI will notify owners, and will provide replacement helmets or give the consumer a credit for a replacement helmet, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin in August 2019.

Owners may contact Helmet City customer service at (888)550-3731.
