Scott recalls Vanish Evo for impact standard failure
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced that Scott has recalled their Vanish Evo model for failure to meet
the CPSC impact requirements.
The Vanish Evo is Scott's entry into the superlight helmet competition. It has a Conehead dual-density liner, accounting
for some of the lighter weight. Recall notices have been filed in Europe as well as the US, so the model sold in Europe
did not even meet the CE 1078 standard. The recall includes the Vanish Evo and Vanish Evo MTB with visor. They sold for
about $200 in the US.
CPSC recall notice
Scott has info on their page. It is at the bottom of
their home page
under Safety and Recalls, down in the lowest right hand corner where everybody will see it.
