The hazard: Product safety hazard

This product was recalled on safety grounds. The safest first move is to put it out of reach rather than to carry on using it carefully.

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, positional stability, labeling and certification requirements. The helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to head injury.

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

What to do about Product safety

This product was recalled on safety grounds. The safest first move is to put it out of reach rather than to carry on using it carefully.

  1. Stop using the product and move it somewhere a child or pet cannot reach it.
  2. Follow the remedy the notice specifies, and register the claim before you destroy anything.
  3. If the product already hurt someone, file a report at SaferProducts.gov.
  4. Check the model number and date code against the identifiers on this page, and photograph them.

How the remedy works

CPSC recalls specify one of three remedies, and which one you get is not negotiable — but how smoothly it goes often is.

  • A refund means the purchase price back, sometimes prorated by age for durable goods. Ask how they calculated it if the figure looks low.
  • A replacement is usually the current model, not the recalled one. Confirm the replacement is not itself under recall.
  • Several recalls now ask you to destroy the item and send a photo as proof. Register the claim before you do that, never after.
  • Return shipping is the company’s cost. If you are asked to pay it, push back.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Semfri for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting the straps and sending a photo of the destroyed helmet to [email protected].

Company contact: Semfri by email at [email protected].
