What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with R.X.Y Bicycle Helmets?
R.X.Y Bicycle 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, positional stability, labeling 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 immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact R.X.Y for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting the straps and uploading photos of the helmet with the straps cut off to RXY-recall@outlook.com. Sold at: Online at Amazon.com from September 2025 through November 2025 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 170 units of R.X.Y Bicycle Helmets are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
