Gudook Adult Bike Helmets (model KY-055, batch 202503, March 2025 manufacture) violate mandatory safety standards and fail to protect users in a crash, posing a serious risk of head injury or death. About 520 units sold on Amazon from May 2025 through February 2026.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, so the score cannot exceed 3 per the rubric. However, the hazard is a risk-of-harm product (protective equipment that fails its safety function), and the source describes a risk of serious injury or death, placing it at the upper end of the "High" category.

Plain-English summary

Gudook Adult Bike Helmets, model KY-055, batch number 202503, with a manufacture date of March 2025, are being recalled. The helmets do not comply with mandatory safety standards for impact attenuation and certification. As a result, they can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a serious risk of head injury or death.

The recalled helmets were sold on Amazon.com from May 2025 through February 2026 for approximately $23 each. About 520 units of the blue-and-white medium-size helmets (fitting a head circumference of about 21.3 to 22.4 inches) have been distributed. The affected helmets are identifiable by "Gudook" printed on the side and a label on the inside showing model "KY-055," batch number "202503," and production date "March 2025."

No injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Gudook Outdoor Sports for a full refund. To obtain the refund, consumers must destroy the helmet by cutting the straps, email a photo of the destroyed helmet showing the batch number to [email protected], and then dispose of the product.
