Yep,

"Wasn't the carbon-fibre mask pulled from production because some of them shattered?"

Yes Tim, the combination of sun light, heat and the carbon fibre made the mask brittle and would break when hit by a foul ball.

+POS even did a recall on the mask and their insurance provider gave a cutoff date for any liability issues.
