Hockey equipment manufacturer Bauer has agreed to stop
claiming that its RE-AKT helmets protect players from
concussions in a consent agreement filed with the
Competition Tribunal. The Competition Bureau alleged that
Bauer's helmet
advertisement was not supported by adequate and proper testing.
Bauer also agreed to donate $500,000 worth of equipment to a
charity, implement corporate compliance programs, and pay $40,000
toward the Bureau's investigation costs.
