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: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported; a helmet that fails impact standards is a potential harm and no incidents are reported.
Plain-English summary
This recall involves YooxArmor multi-purpose kids' helmets sold in size small. The helmets are pink with a unicorn, rainbow and star print, black padding, black straps and a black and red buckle with a black chin pad, and have a black and red plastic adjustment knob at the back. "YooxArmor" is printed on the back of the helmet. About 1,780 were sold on Amazon from October 2024 through July 2025 for about $30.
The helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because they do not comply with impact attenuation, positional stability, labeling and certification requirements. The CPSC states 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. No incidents have been reported.
Owners should immediately stop using the helmets and contact YooxArmor for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting the straps off and can upload photos of the helmet with the straps cut to [email protected] to obtain the refund.
