Louis Garneau is recalling about 650 Course bicycle helmets because they do not meet federal safety standards for impact protection. The affected helmets were sold in matte black and matte fluo yellow between December 2015 and January 2018 for approximately $180 to $240. No injuries have been reported to date, and consumers can receive a free replacement helmet by contacting the manufacturer.
The helmets fail to provide the required level of impact protection during a crash, which significantly increases the danger of sustaining a serious head injury if a fall occurs.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Louis Garneau for instructions on how to receive a free replacement helmet.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
