Sound Around, Inc., cooperating with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), recalled approximately 1,800 Hurtle multi-purpose children’s helmets. The recalled helmets do not comply with the positional stability requirements of the U.S. CPSC’s federal safety standard for bike helmets. The helmets could fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.
The helmets were sold in black, blue, pink, white, and red. The helmets have the word “Renegade” on the side in white or black lettering. The straps are black and the white warning label on the inside of the helmet reads “Renegade” in black and orange lettering.The helmets are sized to fit head circumferences from about seven inches to about eight inches.
Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled helmets and contact Sound Around to receive a refund of the purchase price. To receive a refund, consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps, upload photos of the helmet with the straps cut to the recall registration website and then dispose of the recalled helmet.
Consumers who received the helmet as a free promotion should dispose of it so kids cannot use it.
