Giro Merit helmet recall notice<\/h2>\n
\u201cToday, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), we are voluntarily recalling Giro Merit helmets.<\/p>\n
\u201cHazard: The helmet straps on some Giro Merit helmets manufactured prior to January 2023 may disengage with the helmet when pulled with relatively little force, posing a risk of injury to the user in a crash. Giro is not aware of any incidents in the field related to this issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cDescription: This recall only involves Giro Merit helmets manufactured prior to January 2023 that were sold in Australia, New Zealand, United States of America, and Canada. A Giro Merit helmet can be identified by the model name \u201cMerit\u201d on the rear\/side of the helmet. It can also be identified by the inner helmet sticker which has the model name \u201cMerit\u201d written on it and also bears the alphanumeric identifier (GH230).<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat to do: Consumers should stop using these helmets immediately and contact Giro at (800)456-2355 (option 4) between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday or email us at consumersupport@bellgiro.com. Giro will provide a replacement helmet of the same model\/size that has been validated to be unaffected by this manufacturing defect.\u201d<\/p>\n
