MV Sports is recalling a number of safety helmets designed for children, which include the Batman Safety Helmet (Size 52-56cm), Spider-Man Helmet (Size 48-52cm), L.O.L. Surprise! Safety Helmet (Size 48-52cm), Disney Princess Helmet (Size 48-52cm), and Paw Patrol Safety Helmet (Size 48-52cm). These products were sold between April 2022 and June 2023 and are being recalled due to concerns that the helmets do not fit properly on the head because of an inadequate attachment system.
The risk associated with these helmets is that they may not stay securely on a child's head during use, which could lead to injury if the child falls while wearing one. Although MV Sports has not received any reports of injuries related to these helmets, the company is taking precautionary measures by issuing this recall.
Consumers who have purchased any of these helmets are advised to stop using them immediately and keep them out of reach of children. To receive a full refund, customers can return the helmets to their local Smyths Toys Superstores. For assistance in finding the nearest store, consumers can use the Store Finder available on the Smyths Toys website.
