Bell Sports is recalling about 2,360 Bell Slope adult bicycle helmets. The strap anchor on these helmets can dislodge when force is applied, which violates federal safety regulations. This defect means the helmet may fail to protect a rider during a crash, significantly increasing the risk of a head injury. The helmets were sold in dark green and light blue at stores including Target, Fred Meyer, and Academy from January 2023 through April 2023 for approximately $30.
The helmet's strap anchor can pull out of the shell during an impact. If the straps fail, the helmet will not stay in place on the rider's head, leaving them unprotected during a fall or collision. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Bell Adult Slope helmets and contact Bell Sports for a refund. To receive a refund, consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps and upload photos of the helmet with the straps cut to consumersupport-bell@bellhelmets.com to prove destruction, then dispose of the recalled helmet.
Identification is found on the inner helmet sticker.
