Now this makes much more sense.

Chronicle Collectibles, a manufacturer in Irving, Texas, is recalling its GameStop-exclusive Fallout 76 helmet. As reported by ABC27, the T-51b Power Armor Helmet was recently found to be a risk for mold exposure.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission posted the recall—which affects “about 20,000” units—on September 19. “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 alert warns.

“The recall only involves the Fallout 1:1 Power Armor Nuka-Cola Helmets that have a red painted finish with white-colored exterior tubing around the sides,” Chronicle told me via Twitter DM seven hours after this story was first published. Crucially, “only 32 units of the recalled helmets were actually sold and shipped to consumers, and all of those consumers have been identified and notified directly about the recall. No other models, editions, or colors of Power Armor Helmets are involved in this recall.”
