CPSC Announces Recall of Triple Eight Distribution Child Bike Helmets
Triple Eight Distribution, Inc. of New York, in cooperation with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling about 30,400 Triple Eight Distribution children and youth bicycle helmets because the helmets pose a head injury hazard.
