Motorcycle Helmet Maker Forced to End Production
Quote from the article:
The agency’s demand stems from what the it says is the company’s failure to properly carry out three safety recalls since 2005. The recalls involve about 17,000 helmets that failed to meet safety standards, including puncture resistance. That resulted in the agency’s accusing the company of violating “various provisions” of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. The problem was worked out with a consent order signed at the end of March by the company’s president, Kim L. Davis, that did not deny the violations. |
