As Joe said, this only applies to Impact's products produced in 2009-2010. Seems that there as still issues with earlier products.
One of my circle track friends said that the tracks that they race on have a ban on Impact products in effect.

Don't be such a party pooper. You clowns were SO eager to jump on the bandwagon when SFI whined that they hadn't gotten their $ from Impact (and that is all that label really is IMO....a licensing fee). Now they have rescinded a large part of that claim, and you are trying to minimize it.
For the record, I don't GAS whether Impact lives or dies...but the double standards on display here boggle the mind.

I am not trying to minimize it. Seriously, rules are rules and Impact broke them. I wouldn't use there stuff. Between this and the phony HANS anchors thing, they are damaged goods.
I suppose this is good news for those who may have bought a $900+ dollar within the last 12 months and now will not have to replace it.

I am only interested in full & fair disclosure, which I provided.
I am not sure which is worse: Impact's chronic denial or SFI's chronic financial shakedown scheme.

Tune in next week, when Bill reveals his Chinese connections and the twisted kickback scheme leading all the way to Max and Bernie... in As The Racing World Turns...

Don't forget that last year they also had a suit decertification because they "[did] not fully comply with the minimum standards set forth in the SFI Specification 3.2A Program". So, three strikes at this point.

At least in my case, that's because I support certification bodies charging a nominal fee to fund their activities, but I don't support safety equipment manufacturers secretly skipping the parts of the standards they didn't feel like complying with.

There needs to be a certain level of "trust" when it comes to the purchase of safety equipment.
FWIW, I would not wear anything from Impact, based on recent events and past paddock 'talk' regarding issues such as this.
