Louis Garneau Recalls Aerodynamic Bicycle Helmets Due to Injury Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Louis Garneau has recalled approximately 1,180 P-09 aerodynamic bicycle helmets because they can fail to provide adequate impact protection in cold temperatures. The tear-drop shaped helmets were sold in three color combinations: black with red/white, white with blue/gray, and white with silver. These products were sold at independent bicycle shops and through Louisgarneau.com between January 2014 and September 2014 for about $280 to $350. Consumers should immediately stop using these helmets and return them to Louis Garneau USA for a full refund or a replacement helmet.

Risk

In cold temperatures, the helmet's outer shell can fail to properly absorb force, which prevents it from protecting the wearer from impact-related head injuries during a fall or crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your helmet for model number 1405362 and look for a sticker inside the helmet that says 'Jan. 2014' to see if it is included in this recall.
  2. Identify your helmet's design: affected models are shaped like tear drops with a rounded front, a tapered tail, dimples on top like a golf ball, and the word 'Garneau' on both sides.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled bicycle helmet.
  4. Contact Louis Garneau USA to return the helmet for a full refund or a similar replacement helmet.
  5. Reach Louis Garneau USA at 800-448-1984 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email customerserviceusa@louisgarneau.us, or visit www.louisgarneau.com/us-en/ and click on the 'Customer Service' and 'Recall' tabs.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
