WASHINGTON (BRAIN) — The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled about 300 Semfri kids helmets because they don't meet mandatory safety standards.
No injuries nor incidents have been reported. The CPSC said the helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation, positional stability, labeling and certification requirements. They can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, "posing a serious risk of injury or death due to head injury."
The Chinese manufactured helmets were sold in size medium, fitting a head circumference of about 20.5 to 22.8 inches, and in the following colors: orange, black, blue, navy blue, pink, red and white. All have black padding, black straps, and a black buckle. The helmets have a black plastic knob at the back for adjusting the fit. The size is printed on a black circular label located inside of the helmet.
Consumers should immediately stop using the helmets and contact Semfri for a full refund. The helmets should be destroyed by cutting the straps and emailing a photo of the destroyed helmet.
The helmets were sold at Walmart.com from June 2025 through November 2025 for between $19 and $28.
