Weird how its only certain colors that are affected by the recall.

Thanks for the info. RBK/CCM was late with delivery so we never received any of their helmets. All the new helmets were a bit late. Easton helmets are still incognito.

Believe it or not, the only problem was with the plastic snaps. They changed snap manufacturers and the new ones could shatter so they recalled. I found it odd that they just didn't send the dealers the new snaps to put on themselves instead of returning them, but I guess it was a legality issue. I only had 7 helmets that were effected, all 08 models. I've already sent them back and got them back repaired.

Thanks for giving more details on the helemts. Wasn't sure what the problem was

It's only certain colors since they probably ran them in that order before discovering the snap defect.

End dealer repair is not an option- legal issues since I don't think any LHS are licensed THC repair facilities.

Just checked my V10- Oct 2012, I'm good.

Why do you refer to them as THC? That name is long dead.

Are CCM and Reebok still under one umbrella? I guess I'm not very in the loop. Are hey autonomous or under a different parent company now?

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

The Hockey Company was pre-Reebok.

It is Reebok/CCM

I'll call them Adidas from now on :P

Only helmets with that specific expiration date.
