Children's helmets recalled over failure to meet impact attenuation requirements

Plain-English summary

This CPSC recall involves Semfri-branded children's multi-purpose helmets. The record states the recalled helmets were sold in size medium, fitting a head circumference of about 20.5 to 22.8 inches, in orange, black, blue, navy blue, pink, red and white, all with black padding, black straps and a black buckle, and a black plastic knob at the back.

The recalled 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 record 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.

The record lists about 300 units affected. They were sold online at Walmart.com from June 2025 through November 2025 for between $19 and $28. No injuries or incidents have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Semfri for a full refund. The record states consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting the straps and send a photo of the destroyed helmet to the address given in the notice.
