Bicycle Helmets Recalled

Bicycle helmets imported from China by Triple Eight Distribution of Port Washington, N.Y. that were sold at bicycle and sports stores and other retailers nationwide and online from August 2006 through November 2011 for about $40 are being recalled. Little Tricky helmets are marketed for children and youth and feature a large Little Tricky logo on both sides of the helmet.

Product testing demonstrated the helmets do not comply with Consumer Product Safety Commission safety standards for impact resistance, meaning a rider could suffer head injuries in a fall.
There are currently no incidents reported. There are about 30,400 helmets in the recall.
For more information, contact Triple Eight toll free at 888-548-8518 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST Monday through Friday or visit the company's website at http://www.triple8.com
