Sports-equipment manufacturer Xenith is recalling nearly 6,000 football helmets sold nationwide due to the potential for cracking that could result in head injuries, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

This voluntary recall, announced Wednesday, involves 5,900 Xenith Epic Varsity, X2 Varsity, X2E Varsity and Youth football helmets, with gloss or metallic-painted polycarbonate shells, sold or factory-reconditioned between May 1, 2015 and March 18, 2016. The helmets, sold in multiple sizes, colors and custom-paint designs, have facemasks and chin cups and may have optional eye shields.
