WASHINGTON (BRAIN) — Louis Garneau is working with U.S. and Canadian officials to recall about 650 helmets in the U.S. and 550 in Canada, according to a notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The "Course" model helmets do not comply with the impact requirements of federal safety standards. No incidents have been reported. They were sold from December 2015 through December 2017.
According to a recall notice on its website, the company discovered that "some Course helmets in matte colors might be exposed to a degradation of the plastic shell over time, which potentially affects safety."
Consumers are being told to stop using the helmets and contact Louis Garneau for information on receiving a replacement. The company can be reached at 800-448-1984 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at garneau.com/us/en/customer-service/customer-notices

SAN ANTONIO (BRAIN) — Mechanics across the country are reporting that bikes brought in for service or assembly are coming spec’d with knock-off components, often labeled as "Shinano" or "Shimona." The parts are showing up on bikes purchased online and brought in for service.
