Risk not stated by sourceProduct Safety NZ

An official Product Safety NZ notice concerns Peltor Series Earmuffs. Affected earmuffs may crack on the exterior surface of the cups and reduce the hearing protection effectiveness, meaning there is a risk of over-exposure to noise and possible hearing damage depending on the environment the earmuffs are used in. Published 2024-02-29.

What to do now

Step 1: Determine if your earmuff model ID is affected, locate the Model ID printed on the outside of the cup (see image A) - compare the Model ID on the cup to the product list. If the Model ID matches any in the list, continue to Step 2 - if you do not match any in the table continue to use your product, it is not affected. Step 2: Locate the manufacturing (mfg) date (MM/YYYY) printed on the outside of the cup (see Figure above) - if the earmuff manufacture date is on or between 03/2020 and 09/2022, continue to Step 3. Step 3: Contact your local 3M distributor/retailer to coordinate the return of your affected product(s) for replacement product (if available), alternative product or credit.
