Recall: La Sportiva Mulaz helmet

The Italian sporting goods manufacturer La Sportiva recalls his helmet Mulaz.

In a test of the La Sportiva helmet "Mulaz" (article number 66V) by the Belgian government agency Economie, the failure to comply with the standard EN12492: 2012 (protection against mechanical shocks) was determined under certain specific conditions.

Although other tests performed positively by authorized certification bodies, La Sportiva has decided to immediately remove this item from the market.

La Sportiva asks all customers to bring the product along with the proof of purchase to their dealer to return the item.
