5Color Bicycle Helmet Recall: Size Small, 324 Units — Stop Use Immediately

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall on September 24, 2026 for approximately 324 units of the 5Color bicycle helmet, size Small. The helmet fails to meet federal safety standards for bicycle helmets — the mandatory requirements that ensure a helmet will actually protect a child's head in a crash.

If your child has one of these helmets, stop using it now. This is not a precautionary soft-advisory — it's a formal CPSC recall based on the product's failure to meet mandatory federal requirements.

How to Identify the Recalled Helmet

The recalled helmet is size Small, pink, and fits head circumferences between 18 and 22 inches. The model number is YD-001 and the lot number is YD-260320. These were sold through Amazon in May 2026, priced at approximately $25 to $26.

What to Do Now

The CPSC's guidance is clear: stop use immediately and cut the straps so the helmet cannot accidentally be used again. To receive a refund, email a photo of the helmet to FiveColorCS@163.com. You can also reach the company directly at 833-382-6461, Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 2 PM CT.

No injuries have been reported as of the recall date, but the product's failure to meet mandatory safety standards means there's no way to verify it will protect in a real impact. It's not worth the risk.

Why Helmet Safety Standards Matter

Federal bicycle helmet safety standards set by the CPSC specify minimum requirements for impact absorption, strap strength, and retention system integrity. A helmet that fails these tests may look identical to a compliant one but perform differently in a crash — which is precisely why the CPSC requires mandatory certification before helmets can be sold.

When shopping for a replacement, look for helmets that carry CPSC certification (it will be noted on the label). National brands sold at major retailers are required to meet these standards, but smaller online sellers sometimes list products that haven't been properly tested.
