Fig. 9 Buyer beware of uncertified products, advertised for sports, that do not protect. Each of these products was advertised as a protective device for the sports depicted (baseball and squash). None of the major U.S. distributors would produce evidence that the product was tested by an independent laboratory, but gave assurance that “rigid tests” were done by the manufacturer. Each product failed when tested to ASTM F803 for the advertised sport. None of the manufacturers recalled their product when informed of the test results. |
