February 11, 2026: Health Canada Posts Its Own Recall Notice

Health Canada posted its own recall notice for the Outdoor Master OM-TD BIKE and OM-KSKB helmets. Its ID number is RA-81594. The notice confirms the same hazard and refund remedy already announced for the U.S. market [1]. The notice reports 609 units sold in Canada. Another 24,300 were sold in the United States. As of February 6, 2026, no incidents or injuries had been reported in either country.

November 26, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall No. 26-122

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission opened Recall No. 26-122 on November 26, 2025 [2]. It covers about 24,300 of Outdoor Master’s OM-TD BIKE and OM-KSKB models sold in the United States. Agency testing found that the helmets fail the mandatory bicycle-helmet standard. They do not meet its positional-stability and coverage rules. Outdoor Master offered a full refund. No injuries had been reported at the time.

Which Outdoor Master Helmets Are Affected?

Two Outdoor Master helmet models were recalled together for the same mandatory safety-standard violation, and both are included in this recall:

• OM-TD BIKE – a blue children’s helmet, size small, with a dinosaur print, black padding, straps and buckle. The model name and date code “05/2024” are printed inside on a label, and “Outdoor Master” appears on the back.
• OM-KSKB – a deep green youth helmet, size small, with black padding, yellow straps, and a black buckle. Look for “OM-KSKB” and “11/2022” on the inside label. It also carries “Outdoor Master” printed on both the front and back.

Check the label inside your child’s helmet for these model numbers and date codes before assuming it is not part of the recall. Both models were sold under the Outdoor Master brand by Maysun Products, Inc.

Why Were the Outdoor Master Helmets Recalled?

Outdoor Master recalled the OM-TD BIKE and OM-KSKB helmets because they fail the mandatory federal safety standard for bicycle helmets. The standard says a helmet must stay in place. It must also cover enough of the head. CPSC found that both models fail these rules. A helmet that shifts out of place, or does not cover enough of the head, can fail exactly when it matters most. That kind of failure raises the risk of a serious head injury or death. CPSC’s notice does not name one specific crash or injury that caused the recall. This recall is voluntary. Outdoor Master and CPSC carried it out without a court order requiring the action, based on the standard violation CPSC identified.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. By February 6, 2026, the company had logged no reports of incidents or injuries in the U.S. or Canada. CPSC’s notice describes this hazard as a risk of serious injury or death from head injury. A zero-injury count reflects reports received so far. It does not prove that no incident has occurred. Anyone who has a problem with one of these helmets can report it in either country where they were sold. Contact Outdoor Master directly, or use CPSC’s SaferProducts.gov, its public database for consumer product reports.

What Should Consumers Do?

Parents who own one of these recalled helmets should take these steps right away:

1. Stop using the helmet right away. It may look fine, but the defect is a structural flaw you cannot see.
2. Check the label inside the helmet. Look for the model number and the date code. Photograph the label before you throw the helmet away.
3. Email Outdoor Master at care@outdoormaster.com. Or use the online form at outdoormaster.com/pages/recall [3]. Register the helmet and ask for a full refund.
4. You can also report the helmet to CPSC. Use SaferProducts.gov, or call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772. Do this if a fall or injury happened.
5. Do not give the helmet to another child. Do not resell it either. It fails the safety rule that applies to bicycle helmets.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada’s February 11, 2026 notice, covered above in Latest Updates, is the only foreign regulator action found for these helmets. No other country has recalled the OM-TD BIKE or OM-KSKB models.

Legal Options

A recall does not automatically make a company liable. It does not mean a family can recover money for an injury. CPSC did find that these helmets broke a mandatory safety rule for bicycle helmets. No lawsuit has been filed against Outdoor Master yet. No class action or MDL exists either. If a helmet failure hurt your child, you can ask a lawyer to review the facts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Head Sizes Do the Recalled Outdoor Master Helmets Fit?

The recalled Outdoor Master helmets fit two head-size ranges. The OM-TD BIKE fits 48 to 52 centimeters, or about 18.9 to 20.5 inches. The OM-KSKB fits 46 to 52 centimeters, or about 18.1 to 20.5 inches, according to CPSC’s recall notice.

Can I Still File a Claim If My Child Was Not Injured?

No lawsuit exists yet for this recall, so whether your child was injured does not change what you can currently file. The Outdoor Master refund process applies either way. Only a lawyer’s individual review could confirm what legal options might exist later.

Has Outdoor Master Explained What Happened to the Recalled Helmets?

Yes, Outdoor Master’s own recall page explains this. Most helmets in the affected batch have already been destroyed. The company filed an official Certificate of Destruction as proof. Customers are still eligible for a full refund, even if their own helmet is already gone.

Are There Serial Numbers I Can Check Besides the Date Code?

Yes, there are serial numbers you can check besides the date code. Outdoor Master’s own recall page lists two of them. OM20240326 is for the OM-KSKB helmet. OM20240520 is for the OM-TD BIKE. Either one confirms your helmet is part of this recall.

Where Is Outdoor Master’s Importer Based?

Outdoor Master’s importer is Maysun Products, Inc. It is based in Chino, California, according to CPSC’s recall notice. Maysun Products imported the recalled OM-TD BIKE and OM-KSKB helmets. They were made in China, then sold in the United States.

Did Both Recalled Helmet Models Sell During the Same Time Period?

Both recalled helmet models did not sell during exactly the same time period. Outdoor Master’s own recall page shows the OM-KSKB sold from June 2024 to January 2025, and the OM-TD BIKE from July 2024 to February 2025, both within the broader range CPSC’s notice states.
