So now we hear of a re-call for a goalie mask by Bauer and we are told to log on to the site to find it.

When you click the link it takes you to the home page where they proudly display some NHL players going through several photo’s of skating, cheering and weight training.

Nicely done – we visit the site and search for the recall, which is located on the bottom – yes bottom of the page.

Why would any recall notice not be on the top of the page so the consumer doesn’t have  to waste time searching for a fix to a problem that they never created?

Well once you reach the bottom of the page you will find it.

Hockey Canada is working with Health Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) and Bauer Hockey Corporation, has recalled three (3) goal masks with affected wire cages.

The recall involves the following goal masks and cages:

• Bauer Concept C1 goal mask with certified titanium oval wire
• Bauer NME 10 goal mask with certified titanium oval wire
• Bauer RP NME Ti titanium cage

Bauer has determined there may be a quality issue in some of the titanium wire used in the manufacturing of the cages.

The metal wires on the affected cages can break and may not provide adequate protection in the event of impact from a puck, posing a facial impact or laceration hazard.  Click here for more information on this recall.

The recalled products (approximately 1,300 sold in Canada) were sold from April, 2013 to February, 2015.

Consumers should stop using the recalled goal masks with the affected wire cages and contact Bauer’s customer service toll-free at 1-844-448-4246, Monday to Friday, from 8:30am to 4:30pm EST, by email at [email protected] or visit Bauer’s website at https://www.bauer.com/.
