WASHINGTON D.C. — The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall on helmets intended for children that were sold exclusively through Amazon.com.
The multi-purpose helmets, imported by a company called Wemfg, do not comply with the positional stability, impact labeling, and certification requirements of the CPSC federal safety regulation for bicycle helmets.
According to CPSC, the helmets can fail to protect if the person wearing them is in a crash, increasing the possibility of a head injury.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Wemfg for a refund.
“To receive a refund, consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps, take a photo of the detached straps, and send it with their Amazon order number to the recalling firm by email at 961837339@qq.com. After submitting proof of destruction, consumers should dispose of the recalled helmet. Wemfg and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers directly,” the CPSC said.
