What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Multi-Purpose Helmets?
Multi-Purpose Helmets was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The recalled helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because the helmets do not comply with the positional stability and certification requirements. The helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to head injury. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled helmets immediately and contact Foubeaka or Geniuss for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the recalled helmet by cutting the straps and then send a photo of the destroyed helmet to the corresponding firm. Sold at: Online at Temu.com from August 2024 through February 2026 for between $9 and $11.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 740 units of Multi-Purpose Helmets are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
