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

Plain-English summary
R.X.Y-branded adult bike helmets are being recalled. They were sold in one size fitting a head circumference of about 22.44 to 24.41 inches, in blue with black, with gray padding, black straps with a silver reflective pattern, and a black and red buckle with a gray chin strap.
The helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because they do not comply with the 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.
About 170 units were sold online at Amazon.com from September 2025 through November 2025 for about $23.
Consumers should immediately stop using the helmets and contact R.X.Y for a full refund, destroying the helmet by cutting the straps and uploading photos of the helmet with the straps cut off to [email protected].
