The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled about 30,400 Little Tricky children's bicycle helmets after tests determined that the head gear doesn't meet safety standards for impact resistance.

In a news release, the CPSC said children who use the multipurpose helmets produced by Triple Eight Distribution Inc., of Port Washington, N.Y., could suffer impact head injuries in a fall.

According to the CPSC, the Little Tricky helmets are marketed for children and youth and feature a large Little Tricky logo on both sides of the helmet.

Triple Eight S/M EPS Liner helmets feature a hard black inner EPS foam liner and come in black, white, bone, blue and army green. Sector 9 S/M EPS Liner helmets feature the same EPS liner and come in gray, white, black, blue and green.

Both the Triple Eight and Sector 9 helmets have an interior label indicating the size “S/M” for small/medium and a manufacture date indicated as month/year (ex. APR/2011). Only Triple Eight and Sector 9 size “S/M” EPS Liner helmets are affected by the recall.

The helmets were sold at bicycle and sports stores and other retailers nationwide and online from August 2006 through November 2011 for about $40.

Consumers are urged to stop their children from using the product immediately and to contact Triple Eight at 888-548-8518 for a full refund.
