Bell Sports Recalls Bell Slope Adult Bicycle Helmets Due to Risk of Head Injury
Bell Sports Inc., Irvine, California
Hazard
The strap anchor can become dislodged from the helmet when sufficient force is applied, and therefore violates the CPSC federal safety regulation for bicycle helmets. The helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Bell Adult Slope helmets and contact Bell Sports for a refund. To receive a refund, consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps and upload photos of the helmet with the straps cut to consumersupport-bell@bellhelmets.com to prove destruction, then dispose of the recalled helmet.
Sold at
Target, Fred Meyer, Academy, other stores nationwide and other websites from January 2023 through April 2023 for about $30.
