A collectible Fallout 76 helmet recalled due to dangerous levels of mold
A collector’s edition wearable power armor helmet from Bethesda’s Fallout 76 sold through GameStop has been recalled due to extremely high levels of mold.
Approximately 20,000 units of the helmet sold through GameStop were recalled on September 19th, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Only the GameStop-exclusive, red-colored helmet is being recalled, not the (similar-looking) helmet that Bethesda included in its Collector’s Edition of the game. The helmets presented with mold on the fabric insert inside the helmet at a level that poses a risk of respiratory infections, especially for people with “compromised immune systems, damaged lungs or an allergy to mold.”
