Bell Soquel Youth Helmets are being recalled because the strap anchor can become dislodged from the helmet when sufficient force is applied.
The helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.
This recall only involves Bell Soquel Youth helmets made prior to September 2021. The helmets were sold in various colors in the U.S. and Canada. The recalled helmet can be identified by the inner helmet sticker which has the model’s name “Soquel” and “B0726Y” written on it. The helmets have a date code on the white inner label with August 2021 (“8/21”) or earlier.
