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: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: a helmet that fails the mandatory standard may not protect in a crash, and the notice states no incidents have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Two models of Outdoor Master-branded children's and youth bicycle and multi-purpose helmets are being recalled. Model OM-TD BIKE is blue with a dinosaur print, black padding, black straps, a black buckle and a black plastic adjustment knob at the back, sold in children's size small fitting a head circumference of 48 to 52 cm.
The helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets, specifically the positional stability and coverage requirements. The CPSC states the helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a risk of injury or death due to head injury. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
About 24,300 units were sold online at Amazon.com and Walmart.com from June 2024 through February 2025 for between $20 and $32.
Consumers should immediately stop using the helmets and contact Outdoor Master for instructions on registering for a full refund.
