Head USA Recalls Ski Boots

16th April 2026

The company has announced a voluntary recall of approximately 1,890 pairs of high-end ski boots across North America.

The recall comes after reports that the boot’s shell and sole inserts can spontaneously deteriorate and break, potentially turning a smooth run down the mountain into a dangerous fall.

The issue specifically impacts the fluorescent yellow materials used in the construction of the boot shell and sole.

According to the brand, these components can become brittle and crack, compromising the structural integrity of the boot.

• Units Affected ~1,365 in the U.S. / ~525 in Canada
• Sales Period September 2015 – March 2026

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) confirmed that no injuries have been reported to date.

The affected boots were sold nationwide at specialized ski retailers and through various online platforms.

Head advises:

• Stop using the boots immediately. Even if they look fine, the material degradation may not be visible until the boot is under the stress of a turn.
• Check the model. Verify if your boots match the fluorescent yellow description provided by the CPSC.
