If your child plays football, you'll want to pay close attention because thousands of helmets are being recalled.
This recall is for a popular football used at schools across the country—a scary thought for parents who want their kids to be safe on the field.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission ordered the recall Wednesday for nearly 6,000 helmets because of the potential for head injuries.
They said the shells of helmets can crack, posing a risk to football players.
The helmets were made or repurposed between 2015 and 2016. Xenith got reports of nearly 30 helmets cracking but no injuries were reported.
