Tony Hawk helmets sold at Walmart recalled over safety concerns

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday announced the recall of silver Tony Hawk helmets sold at Walmart.

The silver helmets have black straps and a black buckle and feature Tony Hawk’s signature on the outside. A warning label inside the helmet contains Item No. AGE2515STH-SIL.

5 On Your Side reports the helmets were given out as a replacement for another line of helmets that was recalled.

According to the USCPSC, both helmets can fail to protect users in a crash.

The helmets were made in China and were manufactured by Sakar International Inc., of Edison, New Jersey. Around 12,655 were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and on Walmart.com between March and June 2022 for about $30.

No injuries have been reported.

People can request a refund by contacting Sakar at 800-592-9541 or emailing support@sakar.com.
