Korimefa Multi-Purpose Helmets
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled helmets do not comply with the positional stability requirements of the CPSC federal safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.

After submitting proof of destruction, consumers should dispose of the recalled helmet. Yangxi is contacting all purchasers directly.
