Plain-English summary

The helmets are white plastic with 20 vent holes, a white plastic visor, black head and chin straps, and bright orange and yellow decals. A blue, square PTI label appears on the back of the helmet.

The recall was issued because the helmet liners failed the manufacturer's head impact tests and may not prevent injuries.
