GameStop-exclusive Fallout 76 Power Armor helmets are being recalled due to mold risk
It's been almost a year since Fallout 76 launched, seemingly to weekly controversies, as the game's microtransactions, lack of NPC's, collector's edition's bags, battle royale mode, and gameplay all managed to draw ire from the public. As players found new games to focus on, stories of Fallout 76's perceived issues began to quiet down. But now, another problem has put Fallout 76 back in the spotlight, though this time, Bethesda isn't to blame. Over at GameStop, collectable, wearable model helmets of the series' T-51b Power Armor had been sold. The helmet was similar to that of the Fallout 76 collector's edition helmet, but instead featured a red-and-white paint job, along with a different interior lining.
This interior material has resulted in all of the Gamestop-sold helmets being recalled by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, as mold was found to be present on the inside of the product. 20,000 units were affected, though none of them are from the Fallout 76 Collector's Edition, just the red GameStop model. If you managed to purchase one of these helmets, you can contact GameStop for a full refund, and you likely should--even if the chances of many actually putting the helmet on and wearing it is slim--as the recall states that those with compromised immune systems, damaged lungs, or mold allergies are at risk.
