You didn’t think the Fallout 76…fallout was over, did you? From broken promises to broken mechanics, broken merchandise, and overall just an embarrassment to Bethesda, Fallout 76 continues its trek down “how can this get worse” avenue with the latest news this week. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has posted a recall notice for Fallout 76’s T-51b Power Armor helmet. Forget a low quality canvas bag, how about a $150 helmet that could (theoretically) kill you?
Yes, Gamestop is recalling the T-51b collector power armor helmet due to concerns of mold being present in the fabric inserts.
“Mold can be present on the fabric insert inside the helmet, posing a risk of respiratory or other infections in individuals with compromised immune systems, damaged lungs or an allergy to mold.”
The CPSC notes that there have been no reported incidents/injuries related to the product at this time. Owners of the helmet are being urged to stop playing with it and immediately call Gamestop in order to procure a refund. Gamestop is apparently reaching out to all known customers so you might be getting a phone call within the next couple of weeks.
