The Hazard
HEAD INJURY
These helmets don’t meet safety standards and might not protect your head in a crash. This can lead to serious injuries or even death. Stop using the helmet immediately to avoid potential harm.
About 740 helmets are affected. No injuries have been reported yet.
Technical Breakdown
The recalled helmets fail to meet required safety standards. Specifically, they do not comply with positional stability and certification requirements for bicycle helmets. This means that in the event of an accident, the helmet might shift or fail entirely, leaving the wearer vulnerable to severe head trauma. These failures make the helmets unsafe for their intended use and pose a significant risk to users.
