Update: Sakar Recalls Tony Hawk Helmets Again Over Head Injury Risk
For the second time in 6 months, Sakar International Inc. is recalling its multi-purpose kids’ helmets [1] because they do not comply with the positional stability and retention system requirements of the U.S. CPSC federal safety standard for bicycle helmets, and can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.
Specifically, this recall affects 3 helmet models from Sakar International: Tony Hawk, Credhedz Lizard, and Crayola Dry-Erase helmets.
The recalled helmets were sold online and at Big Lots, Ollies Bargain Outlet, and other stores nationwide from November 2020 through October 2022 for about $30.
If you purchased a helmet that is affected by this recall, you should stop using it immediately and contact Sakar for instructions to return the helmet for a $30 gift card. Do not return the helmet to the retailer.
This recall began on January 19, 2023.
What’s the Problem?
This recall affects approximately 12,655 Tony Hawk Silver Metallic multi-purpose helmets, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission [2].
“The recalled helmets do not comply with the positional stability and retention system requirements of the U.S. CPSC federal safety standard for bicycle helmets,” CPSC said. “The helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.”
The recalled helmets are silver with black straps and a black buckle. Tony Hawk’s signature is printed on the outside of the helmet. The white warning label on the inside of the helmet contains the Item No. AGE2515STH-SIL on the top right corner. These Tony Hawk Silver Metallic multi-purpose helmets were also provided as replacement helmets for Sarkar Dimensions Bluetooth Speaker Helmets in March 2022 and now themselves are being recalled.
If you purchased a helmet that is affected by this recall, you should stop using it immediately and contact Sakar for instructions on receiving a refund in the form of a $40 Walmart gift card. Consumers should not return the helmet to Walmart and should contact Sakar for the gift card and to facilitate returns using prepaid postage packaging.
This recall began on July 14, 2022.
The CPSC Recall Number for this item is 22-185.
