NQDTPBOR multi-purpose helmets for teens, in sizes small and medium, were sold exclusively on Amazon.com by TPBOR. They do not meet the federal bicycle helmet safety standard for positional stability, impact, labeling and certification, and can fail to protect the wearer in a crash, posing a risk of head injury.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled helmets immediately and contact TPBOR for a full refund. To receive a refund, consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting the straps, then take a photo, and send the photo to the recalling firm by email at nqdtpbor@outlook.com. After submitting proof of destruction, consumers should dispose of the recalled helmet. TPBOR and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers directly.
