More than 40K bicycle helmets sold at Walmart recalled over 'serious risk of injury or death'

More than 40,000 bicycle helmets sold at Walmart are being recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission because they violate federal safety standards and pose a "serious risk of injury or death" from head injuries.

Todson Inc., a bicycle wholesaler in Massachusetts, is recalling 40,245 Concord-branded 360 Degree Rechargeable Light-Up bike helmets after federal safety officials said the helmets failed to comply with mandatory retention system and positional stability requirements.
