What it is

The 5Color Children's Bike Helmet and Pads Sets are being recalled. About 324 sets were sold.

The hazard

The helmets do not meet the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. They don't comply with the requirements for impact attenuation, retention system, positional stability, labeling and certification. In a crash, they can fail to protect the child, which poses a serious risk of injury or death from head injury.
