WASHINGTON (BRAIN) — Some Korimefa multi-purpose helmets are being recalled because they do not comply with the Consumer Product Safety Commission's positional stability requirements for bike helmets.
About 60 helmets are affected by the recall. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
The recalled helmets are designed for teens and adults in size medium, fitting a head circumference of about 21½ to 22½ inches. They are sold in blue with black padding, black straps, and a black and red buckle. They have a black plastic knob on the back to adjust fit. The model "W-001," serial number "LDW202103," and a manufacturing date of "03/2021" are printed on a white label inside. "KORIMEFA" is printed on the front.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact the importer, Yangxi, for a refund. To receive a refund, consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps, photograph it, and send the photo to marketing.us@hotmail.com. After submitting proof of destruction, consumers should dispose of the recalled helmet. Yangxi is contacting all purchasers directly.
The helmets were sold online at Amazon.com from April 2022 through November 2022 for about $24.
