Summary by Recall Canary from the CPSC notice
What happened
HK Tongyang Technology Co., Ltd., dba Tongyang Cycling, is recalling Basecamp Bike Helmets because the helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation, positional stability and certification requirements, and can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to head injury.
About 315 helmets are affected, with no incidents reported. The helmets also have a button cell battery that does not bear the warning labels required by Reese's Law, and if swallowed, the batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death.
The recalled helmets are Basecamp-branded bicycle helmets, model HT-10, sold in green and black in size medium/large (M/L), fitting a head circumference of about 22.44 to 24.41 inches. They have red padding, black and red straps, a black and red buckle and a black and red fit-adjusting knob at the back, with 'Basecamp' printed on the sides and 'HT-10' on a label inside.
They were sold online at Amazon.com from July 2024 through July 2026 for about $34. The product was made in China and distributed by HK Tongyang Technology Co., Ltd., dba Tongyang Cycling, of China.
Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Tongyang Cycling for a full refund. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product. Button cell batteries are hazardous, and batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
