Mission-ITECH Hockey, in cooperation with the U.S. CPSC, has issued a voluntary recall of the ITECH Profile 2100, 1100 and 8.0 hockey goalie masks and ITECH RP607 and RP609 goalie mask replacement wires. Consumers have been advised to stop using recalled products immediately.
The metal wire on these products could break at or near a weld point, exposing a hockey goalie to facial injuries. ITECH received three reports of injuries sustained from the wire breaking at or near a weld point.
The masks were sold by 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.
