Hazard

The metal wire on these products could break at or near a weld point, exposing a hockey goalie to facial injuries.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the masks and replacement wires immediately and return them to the company for a free replacement unit.

Incidents & injuries

ITECH received three reports of injuries sustained from the wire breaking at or near a weld point. The injuries included superficial facial and eye injuries.

Product description

The recalled hockey goalie masks and replacement wires are non-certified models with a cat-eye design and have the word "ITECH" printed on the sides and front of the mask. The ITECH Profile 2100, 1100 and 8.0 goalie masks came in black or white. A label identifying the model and size (medium or large) is affixed to the rear crown of the helmet. In addition, the back of the helmet has a large red triangular warning label. The ITECH RP607 and RP609 replacement wires are black, white and chrome and include a unique side attachment design - they are attached to the helmet/mask by four screws and posts without the use of any additional clips.

Sold on

Sporting goods and hockey specialty stores, between January 1999 and September 2004, for about $250 for the mask and about $60 for the replacement wire.
