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 360concordhelmet@todson.com.

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.
