Over 40,000 bicycle helmets sold at Walmart are being pulled from shelves after the US Consumer Product Safety Commission flagged them for not meeting federal safety regulations, posing a significant risk of head injuries, including potential death.
Massachusetts-based wholesaler, Todson Inc., is recalling 40,245 of its Concord-branded 360 Degree Rechargeable Light-Up bike helmets. These helmets were found to be non-compliant with essential retention system and positional stability standards by federal safety authorities.
The company stated that these helmets might not offer adequate protection during an accident.
Announced on February 26, the recall targets large-sized helmets featuring a black exterior, integrated LED lighting, black straps and buckle, and a black adjustment knob on the back.
The word “Concord” is displayed on the helmet’s rear side.
The helmets were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com from January 2025 through September 2025 for about $30.
Buyers are being urged to immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact Todson for a full refund.
“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 360concordhelmet@todson.com to obtain a refund,” Todson said.
No injuries have been reported.
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 center for proper disposal guidance.
