UVEX Sports is recalling seven bicycle helmet models because the chinstrap anchor can fail, causing helmets to slide off the head and potentially causing head injuries. This also means the helmets do not meet CPSC safety standards for bicycle helmets.
The chinstrap anchor can fail, causing the helmet to slide off the head during use. This poses a head injury hazard because the helmet is not securely fastened. The helmets also do not meet CPSC safety standards for impact resistance.
Bicycle riders who own the recalled UVEX helmets are affected. Riders using these helmets during cycling activities are at the highest risk of head injury if the helmet slips off.
Check for model numbers inside the helmet under the fitting pad on the top right side. The affected models are XB017, XB022, XB025, XB027, XB032, XB036, and XB038. These helmets come in various colors with different colored chin straps.
Immediately stop using the recalled helmets as they can cause head injuries if they slip off the head.
