ProRider bicycle helmets, including toddler and BMX models, were distributed by groups such as the Wisconsin Bike Federation, Kiwanis Club and Foster Love and sold at ProRider.com. They do not meet the federal bicycle helmet safety standard and can fail to protect the user in a crash, posing a risk of serious head injury or death.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact ProRider for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting the straps and sending a photo of the destroyed helmet to org@prorider.com to obtain a refund.
