What was recalled

The helmets are black, with black padding, black straps, and a black buckle. "DROYD" is printed on the back of the helmet. Model and serial number are located on the serial number label inside the helmet (e.g. "DHM000001" or "DHL000001").

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled Droyd helmets immediately and contact Reyhee for a full refund. To receive a refund, consumers must cut the straps off the helmet and submit two photos: one photo of both straps cut off and one photo of the helmet and cut straps inside of a trash can. Send both photos along with name and address to Reyhee Group at [email protected]. Reyhee Group is contacting all purchasers directly.. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
