Plain-English summary

R.X.Y bicycle helmets are being recalled due to violations of the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. The recalled helmets do not comply with impact attenuation, positional stability, labeling, and certification requirements, which means they can fail to protect users in the event of a crash and pose a serious risk of head injury.

Approximately 170 R.X.Y bicycle helmets were sold online through Amazon.com between September 2025 and November 2025. The helmets are blue with black and gray padding, and include black straps with a silver reflective pattern and a black and red buckle with gray chin strap. The item number 'Kx012' appears on the instruction manual.

No injuries have been reported. Consumers who purchased these helmets should immediately stop using them and contact R.X.Y for a full refund. Consumers are advised to destroy the helmet by cutting the straps and uploading photos of the helmet with the straps cut to [email protected].
