Chin Straps for Football Helmets
Under Armour, Inc., of Baltimore, Md. announced a voluntary recall of UA Defender Chin Straps because the metal snap that connects the chin strap to the helmet has sharp edges, posing a laceration hazard when the user’s metal snap comes into contact with another player. The recall involves all UA Defender Chin Straps that were sold in the following colors: white and black, red, midnight, navy and royal and have a hard nylon shell, a padded chin area and a plastic strap with “Under Armour” printed on it. The chin straps have metal clasps that tighten the straps and attach them to the helmet. The affected straps were sold at sporting goods stores and Under Armour outlet stores nationwide and at www.underarmour.com from January 2008 through September 2011 for about $20.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chin straps and contact Under Armour for a free replacement chin strap. For additional information, contact Under Armour toll-free at (888) 823-0343 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s website.
