CPSC, I-Tech Sport Products Inc. Announce Recall to Replace Hockey Face Guards
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), I-Tech Sport Products Inc., of Montreal, Canada, is
voluntarily recalling about 1,000 hockey face guards for replacement.
These face guards, which attach to helmets, can become dislodged on
impact causing them to fall off, leaving the user's face exposed to
possible injury.
I-Tech has received one report of a hockey face guard becoming
dislodged. No injuries have been reported.
Only face guards with "OPTECH System," written on the black side
clips, which lock on the plastic eye shield, are part of this recall.
"ITECH" is written at the top center of the plastic eye shield, on the
chin guard and on the chin guard strap. The model number of the face
guards, "FX.50," is written on the packaging.
Sporting good stores nationwide sold these face guards from July
2000 through August 2000 for about $100.
Consumers should stop using the recalled hockey face guards
immediately. Consumers should take the recalled face guards back to the
store where purchased for a free replacement, or they can contact I-Tech
Sport Products Inc. to get a free replacement face guard sent to them.
For more information, call I-Tech at (800) 361-5595 between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
Hockey face guards with "ITECH FX50" written on the black side
clips are not part of this recall.
