Which ones does it cover?
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using BeePrincess adult bike helmets. The helmets violate the impact attenuation, retention system, positional stability, certification and labeling requirements of the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. With these violations, the helmets can fail to protect riders in the event of a crash, posing a deadly risk of head injury. CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, changshalayuanshangmaoyouxiangongsi, of China, doing business as BeePrincess. BeePrincess has not agreed to recall these helmets or offer a remedy to consumers. About 2,200 helmets were sold online at Walmart.com from July 2024 through November 2025 for between $15 and $31. The helmets may also have been sold on other platforms and by other third-party sellers. The helmets were sold in one size fitting a head circumference of 22 inches to 24 inches. The helmets are red and black with silver stripes and have gray padding, a removable visor, black straps with a silver reflective pattern in the center, a black and red buckle with a gray chin strap and a black plastic knob at the back of the helmet for adjusting the fitting. CPSC is aware that the firm also sold helmets in black/white and gray. These products were manufactured in China. CPSC urges consumers to stop using the BeePrincess adult bike helmets immediately, cut the straps, and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous helmets. Report any incidents involving injury or product defect to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.
