Victgoal children's bike helmets in size small, model HT-006 made in November 2025, were sold on Walmart.com. They violate the federal bicycle helmet safety standard's retention system, positional stability and certification requirements, and can fail to protect the user in a crash, posing a risk of serious head injury or death.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled helmets immediately and contact Victgoal for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the helmets by cutting the straps and then sending a photo of the destroyed product, showing the helmet’s production date to walmart@victgoal.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.
