On May 26, 2022, the European Commission issued a safety recall for some Alpinestars GP Plus Gloves due to a higher level of chromium VI than is allowed by the current regulations. This can trigger allergic reactions, and may also cause cancer, according to the safety alert notice.
This alert specifically applies to a single batch of Alpinestars GP Plus gloves in the black and white colorway, which were made in 2015. The affected batch number is OA86990, and the model number is 3556513-12. Batch numbers are marked in this model of glove via a small tag that is located directly under the care tag in the cuff of the glove.
