UVEX Sports is recalling approximately 46,800 bicycle helmets because the chinstrap anchor can fail and the helmets do not meet federal impact safety standards. The recall includes seven specific models (XB017, XB022, XB025, XB027, XB032, XB036, and XB038) sold in various colors and chin strap combinations between September 2009 and June 2014. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately stop using these helmets and contact UVEX for a free replacement helmet that complies with safety standards or a full refund of the purchase price.
The chinstrap anchor can fail during use, causing the helmet to slide off the wearer's head and leaving them unprotected. Additionally, the helmets failed to meet CPSC impact requirements, meaning they may not provide adequate protection during a fall or collision.
Consumers should stop using the helmets and contact UVEX for a free compliant helmet or a refund of the purchase price.
