This recall involves about 72,000 Retrospec Scout model kid's bike helmets in sizes extra-small (XS) and small (S). The helmets were sold in various colors and designs, including Blippi and Matte Black, at Scheels, Play it Again Sports, Amazon.com, and Retrospec.com between February 2019 and March 2023. These helmets fail to meet the federal safety standards for bicycle helmets, which can increase the risk of injury during a fall. Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Retrospec for a full refund after destroying the product.
The helmets do not comply with the positional stability and impact requirements of the federal safety regulation for bicycle helmets. This means the helmet may not stay properly in place or provide enough protection to a child's head during a fall, posing a serious risk of injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Retrospec for a full refund. To receive a refund, consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps and mark the helmet with their initials and the date near the Retrospec logo on the right side of the helmet. Consumers should upload a photo of the helmet, showing the straps cut off, their initials, date, and Retrospec logo, to the recall registration page at https://retrospec.com/pages/retrospec-scout-recall to prove destruction, and then dispose of the recalled helmet.
Helmets were sold with a green hang tag label listing the name 'Retrospec,' the Scout brand name, and the helmet size.
