Manufacturer's Warning and Instructions

Forcefield Protective Headgear™ are designed to be worn by players who participate in sports where protective headgear is not mandatory. Also used by those participating in activities where there is a risk of a fall or a hit to the head. They are worn to reduce the severity of impacts to the head and they do this by significantly absorbing and dissipating the force associated with the impact.

Activities where there is risk of impact force to the head and other parts of the body are dangerous and can result in sub-concussive or concussive brain injuries that may be temporary or permanent.

Although Forcefield Protective Headgear™ can significantly reduce impact forces, there is no protective equipment that can prevent sub-concussive and concussive brain injuries if the force is great enough.

This product must be placed right next to the head and remain in place like a sweatband to be effective. Improper placement or modification of this headgear will reduce its effectiveness and will result in an increased risk of a head injury. 

If the protective headband is torn, damaged or shows signs of excessive wear, the headband must be replaced.

Hand wash, mild soap, air dry. No machines.

Failure to follow this warning may result in serious and/or permanent injuries.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, all warranties, including, but not limited to, an implied warrant to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed. In addition, any liability for loss or damage including, but not limited to, personal injury and incidental or consequential damages is specifically disclaimed.
