What happened

Louis Garneau USA is recalling P-09 aerodynamic bicycle helmets (model number 1405362) manufactured in January 2014 because the helmets can fail to protect wearers from impact injuries in cold temperatures. The helmets are tear drop-shaped with polycarbonate outer shells, built-in visor systems, golf ball-like dimples on top, and vents in the front and rear. They came in three color schemes: black with red and white designs, white with blue and gray designs, and white with silver and white designs, with "Garneau" printed on both sides and the Louis Garneau logo on the front.

Affected consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and return them to Louis Garneau USA for either a refund or a replacement helmet.
