What does this notice say about current status?
The available CPSC record does not provide a current recall-completion status. Do not infer that the issue is resolved from the age of the notice. Follow the official notice and contact the firm for current assistance.
Why was Tongyang Cycling Basecamp Bicycle Helmets recalled?
The recalled helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because the helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation, positional stability 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. In addition, the helmets have a button cell battery that does not bear the warning labels required by Reese's Law. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death.
What should I do if I have this product?
Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Tongyang Cycling for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the recalled helmet by cutting the straps and send a photo of the destroyed helmet to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
