Gasaciods Children's Multi-Purpose Helmets Recalled for Head Injury Risk

Gasaciods children's helmets sold on Temu.com fail to meet federal safety standards for bicycle helmets and do not adequately protect against head injury in a crash. Consumers should stop using them immediately.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm consumer product (safety helmet) where the source explicitly states no injuries have been reported and the hazard is the potential for head injury in a crash. Per the rubric, this qualifies as a High severity recall where injury has not yet been reported but the product poses a significant risk of harm.

Plain-English summary

This recall involves Gasaciods children's multi-purpose helmets sold online at Temu.com from July 2023 through January 2024. The helmets were available in pink and blue, priced between $23 and $42. Approximately 18 units have been identified.

The helmets do not comply with federal safety standards for bicycle helmets, specifically failing requirements for positional stability, dynamic strength of the retention system, impact attenuation, and certification. Because of these deficiencies, the helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury to children. No injuries have been reported to date.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Gasaciods helmets. To receive a refund, consumers must destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps, take a photo of the destroyed helmet, and send proof of destruction to Fengwang Sports either by email at [email protected] or through an onsite message on Temu.com. After the recalling firm confirms receipt, consumers should dispose of the recalled helmet.
