Bicycle Helmets Recalled by Triple Eight Distribution Due to Risk of Head Injury

January 17, 2012

As an attorney in the active Buffalo and Western New York area I often see products reach the market that are not safe for their intended use. The Consumer Products Safety Commission recently announced a recall on over 30,000 bicycle helmets due to safety concerns. The helmets are manufactured by Triple Eight.

The helmets do not comply with CPSC safety standards for impact resistance. Serious head injuries could result if a user was to fall or sustain an impact to the head. Consumers should stop using the product and call Triple Eight toll free at (888) 548-8518 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s website at www.triple8.com.
