Specialized brand bicycle helmet model 2D is being recalled. The
model was sold in men's and women's models from July 2007 to
October 2007 for approximately $200.
Consumers may return the helmet to any authorized Specialized retailer
to receive a full replacement or a full refund. The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission says that riders should immediately stop
using the 2D helmet.
The helmets are being recalled for failing the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets. "This can
pose a head injury hazard to riders in a fall," the Commission said in a
press release.
