More than 40,000 bicycle helmets sold at Walmart are being recalled following the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s announcement that they violate federal safety standards. The helmets pose a “serious risk of injury or death” from potential head injuries.
Helmet Recall Details
Todson Inc., a bicycle wholesaler based in Massachusetts, is recalling 40,245 Concord-branded 360 Degree Rechargeable Light-Up bike helmets. Federal safety officials determined that the helmets failed to comply with mandatory retention system and positional stability requirements.
The company stated that, “The helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash.” The recall, announced Feb. 26, involves large-size helmets with a black exterior, a built-in LED lighting system, black straps and buckle, and a black plastic adjustment knob at the back.
“Concord” is printed on the rear of the helmet.
Where and When Helmets Were Sold
The helmets were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com from January 2025 through September 2025 for about $30.
What to Do if You Purchased a Recalled Helmet
Buyers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Todson for a full refund.
The recalled Concord bicycle helmets can be identified by a sticker on the inside of the product.
Todson advises, “Consumers should destroy the recalled helmets by cutting the straps off the helmets. Consumers can send photos of the helmet with the straps cut off to [email protected] to obtain a refund.”
Important Disposal Information
The company also warned consumers not to throw the helmet’s lithium ion battery in the trash or standard recycling bins because of the risk of fire. Consumers should contact their local household hazardous waste centre for proper disposal guidance.
No Injuries Reported
No injuries have been reported.
Todson has issued a recall for its Concord bicycle helmets after tests found they can fail to properly protect riders during a crash.
