Thousands of children’s bike helmets and camping stoves are being recalled due to hazards that could cause severe injuries or death, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on Nov. 26.
The recall includes approximately 10,000 Outdoor Master children’s and youth helmets that don’t meet mandatory federal safety standards for bicycle helmets, making young riders vulnerable in crashes. According to the agency, the helmets fail to meet positional stability and coverage requirements, which could result in inadequate protection against head injuries.
