LG P-09 helmet recall

There is a recall that has just been issued for certain P-09 helmets.  

Look inside your helmet for the manufacturing date sticker.  If it says Jan 2014, this is you.  No other dates are affected.  The number to call to arrange for an exchange is 800-448-1984.  I called and they are supposed to email me a pre-paid mailing label to ship my helmet back, to be followed by return of a new one "when they have them in stock".  Unfortunately, they were a bit vague on that point.  At least I won't need it for a while.

The issue is that the shell apparently failed the "cold condition testing" by CPSC on a re-test, and they think there maybe "a degradation of the product over time."  No real-world failures reported and no explanation is given why only one lot of the helmets is affected.

Here's a link to the announcement:
