An official Product Safety NZ notice concerns Armour® Safety Helmet For Height Use With Reflective Tape - EN12492. An incorrect manufacturing date was printed on verification labels inside a limited number of ARMOUR branded height safety helmets. The printed date was November 2024 when it should have been June 2024. The incorrect date incorrectly extends the expected life of the helmet by 5 months past the 5-year expiry date being June 2029.

However, purchasers and users of the helmet need to be notified so that the noncompliant labelled helmets can be replaced with a new helmet. Published 2025-09-01.
