  • Easton Universal Baseball/Softball Mask 2.0. It is possible that an Easton Universal Baseball/Softball Mask 2.0 could be attached to an Easton batting helmet such that the mask will not be properly situated on the helmet which could allow a baseball to pass between the helmet and mask potentially injuring the wearer of this combined product.

Depending on usage and environment, most consumers will not experience any issues with their Easton Universal Baseball/Softball Mask 2.0 (regardless of whether it was attached by the consumer to an Easton batting helmet or whether the mask was purchased together with the Easton Alpha Batting Helmet as a “combo” product). Easton has not received any reports of any incidents or injuries from the use of these products. However, to improve safety and performance, and out of an abundance of caution, Easton asks that you immediately STOP USING the Easton Universal Baseball/Softball Mask 2.0 (regardless of whether you attached it to an Easton batting helmet or whether you purchased it pre-attached to the Easton Alpha Batting Helmet as a “combo” product). Easton further asks that you immediately remove your Easton Universal Baseball/Softball Mask 2.0 from the helmet to which it is attached and return it to us.
