Youth helmets recalled over failure to meet positional stability requirements

Plain-English summary

This CPSC recall involves SAMIT multi-purpose helmets for children. The record states the helmets were sold in one size fitting a head circumference of about 21 to 23 inches, in "crack" blue, "crack" red and "crack" black with a cracked paint design, and in pure black, with gray padding and black straps.

The recalled helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because they do not comply with the positional stability and certification requirements.

The record lists about 3,295 units affected. They were sold online at Amazon.com from March 2025 through November 2025 for between $28 and $33. No injuries or incidents have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Samit Outdoor for a full refund. The record states consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting the straps off and upload photos of the helmet with the straps cut to the address given in the notice.
