Sakar Dimensions Bluetooth Speaker Helmets Recalled for Head Injury Risk

Sakar International is recalling about 89,000 Dimensions Bluetooth Speaker Helmets sold at Walmart because they do not meet U.S. federal safety standards for bicycle helmets and pose a risk of head injury in a fall.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recalled helmets fail to meet federal safety standards and pose a risk-of-harm (head injury), which meets the High criteria. The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, so the score does not exceed 3 per the rubric.
