Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Cycle Force is recalling about 1,750 Ventura Adult Bike Helmets because they fail to meet federal safety standards for stability. The helmets, sold in size Medium (M), can shift on the head during a crash, failing to provide the intended protection. These helmets were sold in several colors including white carbon, neon yellow, white/pink, and white/orange between October 2017 and January 2023. Consumers should immediately stop using these helmets and contact the company for a full refund.

Risk

The recalled helmets do not comply with the positional stability requirement of the CPSC federal safety standard. In the event of a crash, the helmet could fail to stay in place, posing a significant risk of head injury to the rider.

What You Should Do

  1. The recalled products are Ventura Adult Bike Helmets in size Medium (fitting heads 21.25 to 22.75 inches) with model numbers 731434, 731436, 733192, or 733194. They feature a black removable visor, black straps, and black buckles.
  2. Identify your helmet by checking for the 'Ventura' brand name on the visor and both sides, and looking for a white sticker inside the helmet that lists the model number and a production code beginning with S-166 followed by a date between October 2017 and January 2023.
  3. Stop using the recalled helmet immediately.
  4. To obtain a full refund, you must destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps, complete the online recall form at www.bikeaidonline.com/recall-ventura-sport-helmet, and email photos of the destroyed helmet to bikeaid@cyclefg.com to prove it has been taken out of service.
