WASHINGTON (BRAIN) — The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning to stop using Favoto bike helmets because they violate safety requirements for positional stability, certification, and labeling.
Shenzhen Favoto Co. Ltd. of China has not agreed to a recall or offered a remedy to consumers. The CPSC recommends cutting the straps and disposing of the helmet.
About 2,200 helmets were sold on Amazon from April 2022 through January 2025. They were sold in black/red with black padding, black straps with a silver reflective pattern in the center and a black and red buckle with a black chin strap. The helmets have a black plastic knob at the back for fitting. "FAVOTO" is on the side of the helmet in white letters.
CPSC said some similar helmets might have been sold in the following color combinations: black/blue, black/yellow, black/green, carbon, gray, black and titanium. The helmets also might have been sold on other platforms and by third-party sellers.
No injuries have been reported. Report any incidents involving injury or product defect to the CPSC.
