Bell Sports has recalled tens of thousands of children’s bike helmets because they do not meet the impact requirements set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC said the "helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury."
About 31,200 helmets are part of the recall.
