I doubt if any of this blog's readers use these Little Tricky helmets, but their children might.
The US Consumer Protection Safety Commission recommends that kids stop using them immediately because product testing demonstrated that they do not meet CPSC standards for impact resistance.
No injuries have been reported, but Triple Eight Distribution is recalling the 30,400 youth helmets because users could suffer head-impact injuries in a fall.
The Port Washington, NY-based company imported the helmets from China and sold them as multi-use helmets or bicycle helmets at bike, sports and other retail stores.
They sold from August 2006 through November 2011 for about $40 apiece. The helmets come in black, white, pink the green.
Consumers can contact Triple Eight for a full refund at (888) 548-8518 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday, or visit the company website at www.triple8.com.
Also, more information is available at the CPSC website.
