RECALL: 31K Kids' Bike Helmets Sold at Walmart, Amazon May Not Absorb Impact
- Bell Sports recalled about 31,200 bike helmets in the US and approximately 480 in Canada on June 26 due to safety concerns.
- The recall was issued after it was determined that certain helmets, available for purchase between fall 2024 and late spring 2025, did not comply with federal impact safety regulations, creating a potential risk of head injuries.
- Affected models include children's Axle, Cadence, Rev, Frenzy, adult Cadence and Passage helmets, identified by model numbers B0494Y, B0605C, B0605Y, and date codes from August to October 2024.
- Consumers should stop using and destroy the helmets by cutting the straps, then email photos of the straps to consumersupport-bell@bellhelmets.com to obtain refunds, as no injuries have been reported so far.
- The joint recall by Bell Sports, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and Health Canada highlights ongoing safety enforcement for bicycle helmets in major retail outlets.
