Morpher Helmet Recall
I just got the following email (fortunately, my helmet is from March 2017)...
RE: Important Product Safety Notice September 2020
Dear Consumer:
In conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), we write to inform you of an important safety recall involving all Morpher Flat-Folding Helmets produced after April, 2017. We are recalling these helmets because they do not comply with the requirements of the federal safety standard for bicycle helmets, posing a risk of head injury.

The helmets come in assorted colors including: matte black, gloss black, frosty white, regal red, spotty dots, yellow, stunning silver, gunmetal grey and sunshine yellow.
If you have a Morpher Flat Folding Helmet produced after April 2017, you should immediately stop using it to avoid the risk of serious injury. Thank you for your cooperation and prompt action, and thank you for being a Morpher customer. If you have any questions, please contact CPSC’s Hotline at 800-638-2772.

The bummer thing is if this were me and I had one produced a month before the effective recall id probably still be shopping for a new helmet. It just wouldn’t sit well with me.

I wouldn't think any of those helmets are safe. The idea of a folding helmet to protect your head just ain't right. I would rather just take a really lightweight helmet. I have never really had a lot of situations where I need to fold a helmet I can generally just strap to something or if I am locking the bike lock it to the bike if I am super desperate.

At this point, I assume the recall applies to all helmets -- I realize the April 2017 date is the end of the Indiegogo campaign. Pity, because I liked the way the helmet packed for commuting and packing for flying to places.
