Todson Recalls Concord Bicycle Helmets Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death
Todson, Inc. has recalled approximately 40,245 Concord-branded light-up bicycle helmets sold at Walmart because they fail to meet mandatory safety standards for head protection.
What Happened
Todson, Inc. is recalling approximately 40,245 Concord-branded 360 Degree Rechargeable Light-Up bike helmets. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), these helmets violate mandatory federal safety standards because they fail to meet retention system and positional stability requirements. This defect means the helmets may not stay in place or provide adequate protection during a crash.
Which Products Are Affected
The recall involves the Concord 360 Degree Rechargeable Light-Up Bike Helmet in size large (L), designed to fit a head circumference of approximately 22.8 to 24 inches.
Identifying Features:
- Color: Black exterior with black straps and a black buckle.
- Design: Built-in LED lighting system and a black plastic adjustment knob at the back.
- Branding: “Concord” is printed on the back of the helmet.
These products were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com from January 2025 through September 2025 for about $30.
What You Should Do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets. To obtain a full refund, you must destroy the helmet by cutting off the straps and emailing a photo of the destroyed helmet to [email protected].
Important Battery Disposal Warning: Because these helmets contain lithium-ion batteries, they must not be disposed of in regular trash, curbside recycling bins, or standard battery recycling boxes. Lithium-ion batteries pose a fire risk. Consumers should contact their local municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center to confirm if they accept these devices or visit Todson’s website for disposal guidance.
