What the authority reported
This recall involves 3M's Peltor X4 series earmuffs designed for noise reduction in industrial and occupational applications. The recalled earmuffs are black with green or orange accents and are over-the-head, behind-the-head, hard hat-attached, or full brim hard hat-attached. 3M PELTOR is stamped on the outside of the earcups. Only earmuffs manufactured from March 2020 through September 2022 are included in this recall. The date of manufacture in MM/YYYY format appears on the outside of the earmuff's earcups. Hazards: The recalled noise-reducing earmuffs can develop cracks in the colored portion of the plastic cups, posing a risk of overexposure to loud noise and sound.
