Retail recall

[A2rhino 77]

In another post there has been some guys complaining about a product which led me to the question; Has there ever been a recall on a retail product in the hockey industry? If so what and when? Also what would constitute a recall?

I haven't paid too much attention so there may be earlier ones, but the WJD helmet thing is the closest thing I can think of.

Just recently RBK/CCM had a recall for one of their cages I believe. And back in 2003 CCM recalled all of the X-Ray model helmets from the ECHL at least that I know of and maybe from some other leagues as well.

This is good to know but I guess the next question would be; How would we the consumer know about this?

Yeah, i never heard about any of those recalls above. and i seem to be more "in the loop" than my LHS. I talked to them yesterday and they didnt even know what profiling was, and that Bauer was up for sale

we've talked about both, more recently the cage. The cage got recalled all of like 4 months ago, if that.

So are the manufacturers responsible to contact us the consumers when that is the case or are we suppose to learn about it from somewhere else and if so where? Example: Say that NBH has ongoing issues with a skate or stick. How would we know that a recall had been placed on them?
