Reported risk: The Proteus mask, used for protection during paintball combat, is made up of a Spectra goggle, visor and facemask, which includes ear covers and a strap. Model number 50085090201 includes a cooling fan. Model number 50105090201 does not include a fan. The model numbers are written on the packaging. Both masks are gray with clear plastic ear covers. Only masks with clear ear covers are part of the recall. Hazards: The plastic facemask could crack around the ear cover, when hit by a paint ball. This could allow the facemask to come off, exposing consumers to eye injuries.
