Bell Sports is recalling about 33,600 youth-size bicycle helmets because of a problem with the chin strap buckle that could lead to the helmet coming off, which would pose a head injury hazard.
Bell Sports, along with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, said Tuesday that the recall includes about 31,100 full-face helmets in the U.S. and approximately 2,500 in Canada.
The company received one report of a buckle failing during an accident, resulting in an injury that required stitches below the wearer’s eye, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada.
- Those sold in orange, grey and black contain part/model number 1003825/035011898025.
- Helmets sold in blue, grey, gold, white and black had part/model number 1006714/035011917719.
The part/model number can be found on a removable sticker on the helmet’s side.
Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Bell Sports for a replacement or refund. Contact Bell Sports at (866) 892-6059, via email at answer_desk@bellsports.com, or visit the firm’s website at bellsports.com
The U.S. CPSC is still interested in receiving incident or injury reports that are either directly related to this product recall or involve a different hazard with the same product. You can tell the agency about your experience with the product at saferproducts.gov.
