CPSC recall,

5Color Children's Bike Helmet and Pads Sets

The 5Color children's bicycle helmet and pads sets fail to meet safety standards and may not protect against head injury.

Summary by Recall Canary from the CPSC notice

What happened

5Color is recalling its children's bicycle helmet and pads sets because the helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation, retention system, positional stability, labeling 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. No incidents have been reported.

The recalled sets consist of a pink helmet, knee and elbow pads, and only the size small helmets are included. The helmets are size small (S), fitting a head circumference of about 18 to 22 inches, and have black padding, black straps, and a black fit-adjusting knob at the back.

The date "2026/03/20" is included in the recall, and "Model No.: YD-001," "Lot/Ref: YD-260320," and "Date 2026/03/20" are printed on a label inside the helmet and on the product packaging. The sets were sold at Amazon.com from May 2026 for between $25 and $26. They were made in China.

Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact 5Color for a full refund of the set. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled helmet, but may keep the protection pads.
