Rawlings Recalls Catcher\u2019s Helmets<\/h1>\n
\n

<\/p>\n

On February 6th, 2020, Rawlings issued a recall for its CHMACH-SR Senior Catchers Helmets. The reason for the recall is centered on the rear plate of the helmet, which can break or come undone during use, leading to the risk of various head injuries<\/a> and concussion. About 1,400 of the units were recalled.<\/p>\n

The helmets all have a grey chinstrap but come in different color combinations \u2013 black and white (UPC code 083321545504), green and white (UPC code 083321545511), navy and white (UPC code 083321545528), and red and white (UPC code 083321545566). The hangtags had \u201cMACH\u201d printed on them when the helmets were sold and also have the UPC codes. The code cannot be found on the helmet itself, but there is a sticker on the inside that says \u201cCHMACH-SR-RevA.\u201d On the side of the helmet is the word \u201cRawlings\u201d and on the front is the \u201cR\u201d logo of Rawlings.<\/p>\n

The helmets were manufactured in China and imported into Missouri by Rawlings Sporting Goods. They were sold for about $200 at sporting goods stores, Rawlings.com, and various other retail stores and online sellers.<\/p>\n

To date, there have been no injuries reported from the helmet plates coming undone. The company recommends that owners refrain from using the helmets any longer. Users can pursue a refund if the size of the helmet is over 7.5, and can receive a replacement plate if the helmet is below size 7.5.<\/p>\n

Injuries from Defective Catcher\u2019s Helmets<\/h2>\n

Catcher\u2019s helmets and all similar baseball helmets are meant to protect the wearers in many ways. For one, the helmet protects against fast-moving baseballs and can prevent concussions and other head injuries. It also cushions the head in the event of a trip, dive, or collision. Catchers in baseball are often taking spills; they may pursue a foul ball and wind up falling over a railing into the dug out or into the stands, or they may be waiting for a squeeze play at the plate only to be hit by a runner. Thus, if a helmet falls off or breaks during use, the catcher\u2019s head would be exposed and susceptible to injuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n
