What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Gudook Adult Bike Helmets?
Gudook Adult Bike Helmets was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The recalled helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because the helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation 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. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Gudook Outdoor Sports for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the recalled helmet by cutting the straps and email a photo of the destroyed helmet, showing with the helmet's batch number, to lexi_kuyou@163.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product. Sold at: Online at Amazon.com from May 2025 through February 2026 for about $23.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 520 units of Gudook Adult Bike Helmets are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
