The helmets have a black plastic knob at the back of the helmet for adjusting the fitting. Item number "Kx012" is printed on the helmet's instruction manual.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled helmets and contact R.X.Y for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the helmet by cutting the straps and uploading photos of the helmet with the straps cut off to [email protected].. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
