5Color Recalls Children’s Bicycle Helmet and Pads Sets Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Head Injury; Violate Mandatory Standard for Bicycle Helmets

CPSC Product recall issued Sep 24, 2026.

This recall involves 5Color-branded bicycle helmet and pads sets. The sets consist of a pink helmet, knee and elbow pads. Only the size small helmets are included in this recall. The helmets are size small (S), fitting a head circumference of about 18 to 22 inches, and have black padding, black straps, a black and a black fit-adjusting knob at the back. “2026/03/20” are included in this recall. “Model No.: YD-001,” “Lot/Ref: YD-260320” and “Date 2026/03/20” are printed on a label on the inside of the helmet and on the product packaging.

Stop using the product immediately, even if yours seems fine. CPSC recalls are issued after a hazard is confirmed, often from a small number of incidents.

Read the remedy line on the notice — it will say refund, replacement, or free repair kit. Companies must honor it whether or not you have a receipt.

Do not resell or donate a recalled item. Reselling recalled products is illegal, and thrift shops are a common way they keep circulating.

For nursery and toy recalls, check secondhand and hand-me-down gear too. That is where recalled cribs, sleepers, and bassinets usually turn up.

Report a product that hurt someone at SaferProducts.gov. Those reports are the main trigger for new investigations.
