Key details
Cycleurope has announced a recall of its Tec children's helmets, specifically the Lelle and Boo models, due to serious safety concerns that could result in head and facial injuries. The recall was prompted by findings from the Swedish Consumer Agency (Konsumentverket), which indicated that these helmets had not undergone adequate safety testing. As a result, they may not provide the protection expected in the event of an accident.
Additionally, the recall highlights the risk of detachment of the helmet's visor, which could lead to further injury from sharp edges, posing significant risks to the eyes and face of young users. Cycleurope urges consumers to cease the use of these helmets immediately and return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. The affected models can be reviewed on the Consumer Agency's website for comprehensive details.
This recall affects a broad range of sales outlets where the helmets were available, ensuring widespread attention to the potential hazards associated with their use. Cycleurope stated that safety is their utmost priority and they are taking immediate action to rectify this issue.
