If your HEAD ski boots have fluorescent yellow components and were made between the years 2016 and 2022, stop using them immediately and contact the brand. On April 9, HEAD announced a significant recall of 20 boot models that use this fluorescent plastic, which can “deteriorate and break, posing a risk of serious injury from a fall.”
About 1,365 units are part of this recall in the U.S., along with an additional 525 units sold in Canada. It includes Next Edge, Vector Evo, Advant Edge, Raptor, and Formula models. They were sold both online and at retailers, priced from $500 to $750.
HEAD reports that no injuries have occurred so far as a result of this problem.
The table below shows all affected boot models and their associated article codes. Those codes are located on the inner side of the heel on the left boot (as pictured above).
Boots that include fluorescent yellow shell materials are eligible for a free replacement with a newer equivalent model. Send your boots back to HEAD; upon receipt, they will send you a new pair or issue a refund. Boots that have fluorescent yellow soles are eligible for free replacement sole inserts. Those can be installed at a ski shop or by the customer.
If your boots are included in this recall, contact the brand for instructions on how to get your replacement boots or sole inserts. It can be reached toll-free at 800-874-3235 between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. ET Monday through Friday. You can also email HEAD at info@us.head.com.

If AISC keeps dropping, this becomes investable for me.

The cost guidance is better than expected. If they deliver, the stock could rerate.

Nice to see insider buying—usually a good signal in this space.
