The recall notice states that the helmets do not comply with impact attenuation, positional stability, labeling, and certification requirements.

3. Hazard Information
The recalled helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. Specifically, the helmets do not meet the required standards for impact attenuation (the ability to absorb shock), positional stability (the ability to stay in place during a crash), labeling, and certification. Because the helmets fail to comply with these requirements, they may not provide adequate protection in a crash. The recall notice states that this poses a serious risk of injury or death due to head injury. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.

4. Consumer Action Required
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets. The recall instructions direct consumers to destroy the helmet by cutting the straps.
