Droyd multi-purpose helmets for youths, in sizes medium and large, were sold online at Droyd.com. They were recalled because they do not meet federal bicycle helmet safety requirements, including impact and retention standards, and can fail to protect the wearer in a crash, posing a risk of head injury.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled Droyd helmets immediately and contact Reyhee for a full refund. To receive a refund, consumers must cut the straps off the helmet and submit two photos: one photo of both straps cut off and one photo of the helmet and cut straps inside of a trash can. Send both photos along with name and address to Reyhee Group at support@droyd.com. Reyhee Group is contacting all purchasers directly.

Contact: Reyhee Group at 800-333-3729 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, email at support@droyd.com, or online at www.droyd.com/pages/safety-recall or www.droyd.com and click "Safety Recall" at the top of the page for more information.
