The hazard: Product safety hazard

The notice above names the hazard. CPSC recalls are issued because someone can be hurt, not because the product underperforms.

What the notice says: The recalled helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because the helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation and certification requirements.

Why it matters: The CPSC published this recall because the product can injure someone. The hazard statement above describes how.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves Gudook-branded bicycle helmets, model KY-055. The helmets were sold in blue with white and in size medium (M), fitting a head circumference of about 21.3 to 22.4 inches. The helmets have red padding, black straps, a black and red buckle and a black fit-adjusting knob at the back. Only helmets with batch number 202503 and manufacture date of March 2025 are included in this recall. "Gudook" is printed on the side of the helmet. The model, batch number and manufacture date, in MM/YYYY format, are printed on a label on the inside of the helmet.

What to do about Product safety

The notice above names the hazard. CPSC recalls are issued because someone can be hurt, not because the product underperforms.

  1. Stop using the product and move it somewhere a child or pet cannot reach it.
  2. If the product already hurt someone, file a report at SaferProducts.gov.
  3. Check the model number and date code against the identifiers on this page, and photograph them.
  4. Do not resell, donate or pass it on — reselling a recalled product is illegal in the United States.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Gudook Outdoor Sports for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the recalled helmet by cutting the straps and email a photo of the destroyed helmet, showing with the helmet's batch number, to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.
