Bauer Goalie Mask/Cage Recall
INFORMATION BULLETIN Hockey Alberta (use this one) Bulletin No: 15/05 - UPDATED Date: June 16, 2015 To: ALL Hockey Alberta Membership (Including: Players, Coaches, Parents, Teams, Leagues and Minor Hockey Associations) From: Hockey Alberta SUBJECT: BAUER GOALIE MASK/CAGE RECALL This Information Bulletin is being distributed to all contacts of Hockey Alberta. We would ask your assistance in providing the widest possible distribution for this notice about a joint recall by Health Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) and Bauer Hockey Corp. PLEASE NOTE: This is an update to the Information Bulletin sent out earlier today, which included an incorrect Subject Line. Bauer helmets are not being recalled; rather certain Goalie Masks/Cages are being recalled, as outlined below. Hockey Alberta apologizes for the confusion that may have been created by the initial bulletin. This recall involves the following goal masks and cages: • Bauer Concept C1 Goal Mask with Certified Titanium Oval Wire: carbon fiber shell with a foam liner and sweatband, and a titanium wire cage that attaches to the mask with two screws on each side of the mask; Senior masks in sizes S/M and M/L, available in two shell colors: black and white. “Concept C1" is marked on the top of the shell. A sticker inside the shell at the jaw lists the model and size. A second sticker on the other side of the shell at the jaw lists the country of origin (China), the assembly date and the CE certification. Certification (CSA, HECC) and warning stickers are affixed to the backplate of the mask. • Bauer NME 10 Goal Mask with Certified Titanium Oval Wire: fiberglass/carbon fiber shell with a foam liner and sweatband, and a titanium wire cage that attaches to the mask with two screws on each side of the mask. Senior masks in three sizes: Fit 1, Fit 2 and Fit 3, available in two shell colors: black and white. "NME10" is marked on the top of the shell. A sticker inside the shell at the jaw lists the model and size. A second sticker on the other side of the shell at the jaw lists the country of origin (China), the assembly date and the CE certification. Certification (CSA, HECC) and warning stickers are affixed to the backplate of the mask. • Bauer RP NME Ti Titanium Cage: a replacement cage intended for the Concept C1 and NME 10 goal masks. It has a matte finish. The cage has two side plates, one on each side of the cage. One side plate includes a sticker with the model designation (RP NME Ti Sr) and the CSA certification. The other sticker indicates HECC and CE certification. On the inside of the side plate is a sticker with the country of origin (Thailand). Bauer has determined there may be a quality issue in some of the titanium wire used in the manufacture of the cages. The metal wires on the affected cages can break and may not provide adequate protection in the event of impact from a puck, posing a facial impact or laceration hazard. Consumers should stop using the recalled goal masks with the affected wire cages and contact Bauer Hockey Corp. Bauer Hockey Corp. has received nine reports, eight in Canada and one in the United States, of the titanium wire cage cracking or breaking upon impact with a puck, resulting in minor facial injuries in four of the reports. Approximately 1,300 units were sold in Canada, and approximately 1,200 units were sold in the United States. The recalled products were sold from April 2013 to February 2015.
