Recall By:

CPSC; Bell Sports


Problem:

The recalled helmets do not comply with the U.S. CPSC federal safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.


Sold:

About 15,000 were sold in the US and about 1,465 were sold in Canada at Epicenter Cycling, Freewheel Bike West Bank, Velotech and other stores nationwide and online at Giro.com, Backcountry.com and other websites.


Remedy:

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Giro Merit helmets and contact Giro at (800) 456-2355 or the email [email protected] for a free replacement helmet or a full refund.
