Which ones are recalled?
The recalled hockey goalie masks and replacement wires are non-certified models with a cat-eye design and have the word “ITECH” printed on the sides and front of the mask. The ITECH Profile 2100, 1100 and 8.0 goalie masks came in black or white. A label identifying the model and size (medium or large) is affixed to the rear crown of the helmet. In addition, the back of the helmet has a large red triangular warning label. The ITECH RP607 and RP609 replacement wires are black, white and chrome and include a unique side attachment design - they are attached to the helmet/mask by four screws and posts without the use of any additional clips.
About 5,000 units, as CPSC gives them.
