CPSC product recall: what the record actually shows
This notice was issued by CPSC on September 17, 2026 and geographically references United States. Its severity classification of "high" signals how the issuing agency weighs the risk of harm if no action is taken - "critical" and "high" tier alerts typically carry direct consumer actions, while "medium" and "low" tend toward informational guidance or monitoring advisories. The category it belongs to - Product Recalls - determines the consumer-protection framework behind it, which shapes what remedies (refunds, replacements, repairs, or the recall itself) are available to affected consumers and which agency holds statutory responsibility for enforcement.

What Happened
Tongyang Cycling is recalling Basecamp-branded bicycle helmets because they violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation, positional stability and certification requirements, and the button cell battery does not bear the warning labels required by Reese’s Law.
Which Products Are Affected
This recall involves Basecamp-branded bicycle helmets, model HT-10. The helmets were sold in green and black and in size medium/large (M/L), fitting a head circumference of about 22.44 to 24.41 inches. The helmets have red padding, black and red straps, a black and red buckle and a black and red fit-adjusting knob at the back. “Basecamp” is printed on the sides of the helmet and “HT-10” on a label inside of the helmet. A total of 215 units were sold online at Amazon.com from September 2022 through July 2026 as both a one-pack or a two-pack. The importer is Jiande Pengshuai Trading Co., Ltd, of China.
What You Should Do
Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Tongyang Cycling for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the recalled helmet by cutting the straps and send a photo of the destroyed helmet to tongyangshangwuus@hotmail.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product. Button cell batteries are hazardous and should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures. Contact Tongyang Cycling via email at tongyangshangwuus@hotmail.com or online at http://www.basecampbike.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=15 or www.basecampbike.com and click “Recall” at the top of the page.
Why This Matters
The helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to head injury. Ingested button cell or coin batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death.
