California-based Bell Sports is recalling more than 30,000 bicycle helmets because they do not meet Consumer Product Safety Commission’s mandatory federal safety standards.

According to a statement on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website, the helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.

The recall, issued June 26, involves Bell Sports’ Axle, Cadence, Rev and Frenzy children’s bicycle helmets with model numbers B0605Y, B0605C or B0494Y. The recall also involves Cadence and Passage adult helmets with model number B0605Y.

The helmets were sold several different color combinations, including: blue, green, purple, red, pink, black/blue, green/black, pink/green, pink/purple, pink/white, purple/white, red/black, pink/mint or multi-color; and have various designs, including checkers, lines, polka dots, rainbows and swirls.

A full list of the names and model numbers is also available on the CPSC website, as well as the Bell Sports website.

The helmets were sold at Walmart, Target, Academy Sports+ Outdoors and other stores nationwide and online on www.Amazon.com, FredMeyer.com, Academy.com and Target.com from September 2024 through May 2025 for about $20.

Consumers who own the recalled helmets should stop using them immediately and contact Bell Sports for a full refund. The CPSC is urging consumers to destroy the recalled helmets by cutting off the straps before they throw them away.

Consumers can upload photos of the helmet with the straps cut off to [email protected] to receive a refund. Bell Sports is contacting all known purchasers directly.
