Only helmets manufactured in November 2025 are included in this recall. "Model HT-006," "Production: 2025/11" and "Ref/Lot# 2025A1101" are printed on a label on the inside of the helmet.

What to do about Product safety

Victgoal — 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. Do not resell, donate or pass it on — reselling a recalled product is illegal in the United States.
  3. Follow the remedy the notice specifies, and register the claim before you destroy anything.
  4. If the product already hurt someone, file a report at SaferProducts.gov.

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 repair kit is shipped free and is designed to be fitted at home; if you cannot fit it, ask whether they will arrange installation.
  • 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.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled helmets immediately and contact Victgoal for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the helmets by cutting the straps and then sending a photo of the destroyed product, showing the helmet’s production date to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.

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