Bell Sports Recalls 31,000 Bicycle Helmets

WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 26, 2025) – Bell Sports is recalling approximately 31,200 bicycle helmets in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada. The helmets do not comply with the impact requirements of the CPSC’s mandatory federal safety standard for bicycle helmets and they can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.

The helmets were sold in various colors in the U.S. and Canada, according to a statement on the Bell Sports website. The recalled helmets can be identified by the inner helmet sticker which has the model’s number “B0605Y,” “B0605C,” or “B0494Y” printed on the label.

The helmets were sold in the following colors or color combinations: 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.

The model name, the model number and the manufacture date in MM/YY or M/YY format can be found on a sticker inside the helmet.

It is important to note that only certain production months of some Bell helmets are affected. About 480 units were sold in Canada, according to the CPSC website.

Consumers should stop using the recalled helmets immediately and contact Bell Sports for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the recalled helmet by cutting the straps off the helmet. Consumers can upload photos of the helmet with the straps cut off to consumersupport-bell@bellhelmets.com to obtain a refund. Bell Sports is contacting all known purchasers directly.
