CCM Recalls Its Hybrid Visor And Replacement Visor Over Cracking Risk

If you play in a CCM hybrid visor, stop using it and check it tonight. Health Canada posted a recall on August 6, 2026 for the CCM Hybrid Visor and the Replacement Visor accessory, and the notice is blunt about the remedy: consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and contact Sport Maska Inc. (CCM). The UK's Office for Product Safety and Standards published its own recall of the same visors on July 20, 2026, and rates the risk high.

The product is CCM's hybrid facial protector, a cage portion joined by screws to a polycarbonate portion, plus the standalone accessory kit, which Health Canada's parts table describes as containing one replacement visor, two side clips, two spacers and two screws. Four part numbers are affected. 5490135 and 5490136 are the S/M and M/L hybrid, both listed as Black Chrome. 5490095 and 5490137 are the S/M and M/L replacement accessory.

One naming wrinkle. Health Canada's summary line calls the hybrid "Style FMVHR", but the parts table on that same page, the UK notice and CCM's own recall page all write it FMHVR. It is the same product.

Identifying yours takes seconds. On the hybrid, CCM says to look at the outside of the metal plate securing the polycarbonate visor to the cage on the right side, looking through the visor. If "HVR" appears at the top of that plate, above where it says CCM in red, the product is affected. On the replacement accessory, look for a serial number beginning with "SR", engraved into the polycarbonate at the top corner on the right side.

Health Canada says small fissures can develop near the screws joining the plastic visor to the cage. A strong impact, including a fast-moving puck, could then crack the visor. Health Canada says CCM determined the products do not fully align with the company's current manufacturing quality standards and decided to initiate a voluntary recall. As of July 17, 2026, the company had received no reports of incident or injury in Canada.

In Canada, Health Canada directs owners to stop using the affected products and contact CCM for a replacement full-face protector. CCM's Canadian recall form provides the claim and return instructions. Health Canada lists 1-800-644-1677 and [email protected] for assistance.

For US owners, the CPSC issued its recall on August 20, 2026, covering about 12,957 units. Its remedy allows a free FV1 full visor, FM780 combo cage or FM580 combo cage through a participating retailer. Owners who cannot access a participating retailer should contact CCM directly; the CPSC says CCM will provide prepaid return packaging and send a replacement after receiving the recalled product. The US contact number is 800-451-4600. The CPSC reported no incidents or injuries. These US instructions should not be substituted for Canada's claim process.

CCM reported 8,895 units sold in Canada between May 2024 and April 2026.
