Kids Bike Helmet Recall

Health Canada has announced a national recall for Bell Cadence youth bike helmets, over potentially insufficient protection in the event of a crash, risking head injury.

The bike helmets, which come in a variety of colours, were sold at Walmart stores between September 2024 to May 2025, the notice reads.

Affected products include those with the name “Cadence”, model B0605Y and a date code of “9/24” found in the inner helmet sticker.

Consumers are advised to check for the following:

• Helmets with a black and blue pattern and SKU 7147114
• Helmets with a purple pattern and SKU 7147115

According to the manufacturer, 481 helmets were sold in Canada, with a further 31,214 sold in the US. The company has received no reports of injuries.

To obtain a refund, consumers should cut the straps off of the helmet and submit photos of the helmet with the straps cut to consumersupport-bell@bellhelmets.com, then dispose of the recalled item, the notice reads. For more information, consumers can contact Bell at (800) 456-2355, or visit www.thebellgarage.com.
