Why is this product being recalled?

Despite our rigorous quality control procedures, we have identified that this product does not meet our safety performance standards. An anomaly has been found that may prevent the probe from deploying fully, which could make it difficult to use during a victim search.

As this is life-safety equipment for mountain use, DECATHLON is unwilling to take any risks.

What to do?

We ask that you stop using this probe immediately and return it to your nearest DECATHLON store.

Upon return, you will receive a full refund at the original purchase value.

If you purchased a FOUGANZA - NEW HORSE RIDING HELMET 100 between 20 October 2025 and 02 June 2026 inclusive, please read the information below carefully.

Product information:

Product name:
FOUGANZA - NEW HORSE RIDING HELMET 100

Affected models:

8844101 (Black)
8644620 (Green)
8644618 (Lavender)
8644619 (Pink)

All sizes are concerned by this recall.

In case of doubt, the model code is written on the CE label inside the helmet.

Why is this product being recalled?

The strap running in front of the ear may slide backward, which could affect the stability and optimal hold of the helmet on the head during normal use.

This creates a risk for the user because head protection is no longer fully guaranteed in the event of a fall or impact.

What to do?

We ask that you stop using this product immediately and return it to your nearest DECATHLON store.

Remedies available to consumers

Upon return, you will receive a full refund at the original purchase value.

Why is this product being recalled?

We have identified a defect in the wire gate riveting on these carabiners. This assembly fault can cause the wire gate to break or detach, posing a serious risk of carabiner failure in the event of a fall.

OK / SAFE: Correct riveting has a rounded end in a "mushroom" shape.

NOK / DEFECTIVE / NOT OK: Defective riveting has a flat end.

What to do?

We ask that you stop using your quickdraw immediately.
