Bill Simpson's Impact Racing LLC reached an agreement Thursday with an industry-certification group that will allow the company to continue selling race car safety gear made this year and last.
Impact and the SFI Foundation Inc. issued a joint statement after a hearing in federal court. The two sides agreed that no counterfeit SFI conformance labels have been used in 2009 and 2010, and all Impact products made and sold during those years meet SFI specifications.
SFI maintained its decertification of Impact products, excluding helmets, made before 2009.
Based in California, SFI is the not-for-profit organization that sets minimum performance standards for motorsports equipment. It filed a lawsuit on March 26 in U.S. District Court of southern Indiana claiming that, between November 2005 and August 2008, Impact hired an Asian manufacturer to produce look-alike SFI labels. The lawsuit, based on an affidavit from former Impact employee Darren Swisher, says the counterfeit labels were put on seatbelts, arm restraints, fire suits, head socks, gloves and boots.
According to Thurday's joint statement, Impact and SFI are cooperating to resolve "issues" that led SFI to decertify products made between 2005 and 2008. The company and SFI are also cooperating to determine whether any Impact products bear a counterfeit label, and whether there are any safety issues with products made before 2009.
If customers find products that lack a manufacturing date, they are supposed to call Impact, which will verify the date of manufacture. Impact will also notify SFI of those instances.
