Shimano is recalling certain Lazer-branded bicycle helmets because they do not meet federal safety standards for bicycle helmets, which creates a risk of head injury. The recall affects specific models and sizes: Blade helmets in XS and S sizes, and Elle, Jade, and Magma helmets in S size only. These helmets were sold in various colors including black, blue, grey, yellow, red, white, khaki, orange, titanium, and combinations such as black and pink or dark blue and grey. You can identify recalled helmets by the "Lazer" printing on the side and model number "LZB-08" on a sticker inside.
