Pacific Cycle is recalling approximately 129,000 infant bicycle helmets featuring a magnetic "no-pinch" chin strap buckle. The magnetic buckle contains small plastic covers and enclosed magnets that can detach, creating a serious choking or ingestion hazard for young children. These helmets, which have "SCHWINN" printed on the front, were sold in various colors and patterns at Target stores and online between January 2014 and April 2016. There have been three reports of the plastic covers coming loose, though no injuries have been reported yet. Consumers should immediately stop using these helmets and contact Pacific Cycle for a free replacement.
Small plastic covers and magnets on the chin strap can break off and be swallowed by a child, leading to choking or internal injuries if multiple magnets are ingested. Three incidents of parts coming loose have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately take the helmets away from children and contact Pacific Cycle for instructions on how to receive a free replacement helmet.
