ABUS is recalling approximately 790 MountZ (ACM) youth medium-sized bicycle helmets sold at independent bike shops nationwide between April 2020 and October 2021. These helmets, which were available in velvet black and polar white colors, fail to comply with federal safety standards for bicycle helmets. Owners should immediately stop using the helmets and return them to the recall administrator for a full refund of the approximately $80 purchase price.
The helmets do not meet U.S. CPSC federal safety standards, which means they may fail to provide adequate protection during a fall or collision, posing a serious risk of head injury. While no injuries have been reported to date, the failure to meet impact or strap retention standards significantly increases the danger to the wearer.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and return them to ABUS's Recall Administrator, Sedgwick, free of charge, for a full refund.
