Recall of Under Armour Athletic Cups

[Thom in DC]

Hi guys,

Yesterday there was posted on the Yahoo Under Armour group about Under
Armour recalling its brand of athletic cups because they shatter
easily and can cause injury to the genitals. See below. Also I
estimate that Under Armour takes a 4.2+ million dollar loss through
this recall.
