About 800 Uvex Funride ski helmets imported by Uvex Sports, of Cranston, RI and Swix Sport USA, of Haverhill, MA are being recalled. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the helmet provides insufficient shock absorption and resistance to penetration, posing a head injury hazard.

No injuries have been reported.

Uvex Funride ski helmets come in two adult sizes XS-M, and L-XL. Individual sizing is adjusted by a small dial located at the rear of the helmet. The helmets feature a chin strap, ear protection and the word “Uvex” printed toward the back of the helmet. The interior label on affected helmets bears the code “S-58B” or “S-58C”. The helmet comes in the following colors and designs: solids in black, white, silver; carbon look matte in white or black; golden flower decal in white or black.

The items were sold at independent retail ski shops and ski rental stores nationwide from January 2009 to April 2011 for $99.
