Summary
The removal of detailed recall information for hazardous products such as bicycle helmets and chemical products from the CPSC recall database reduces publicly available safety warnings and compliance requirements for sellers.
Why it matters
Sellers rely on recall data to ensure product safety compliance and to avoid listing or selling recalled hazardous products. Removing this information increases risk of non-compliance, potential liability, and harm to consumers due to lack of awareness of product recalls.
Recommended action
Sellers should proactively monitor alternative official recall sources and update their product safety compliance processes to mitigate risks from missing recall data on the CPSC site.

The recalled helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because they do not comply with the positional stability, labeling and certification requirements. The helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to head injury.
Consumers should stop using the helmets immediately and contact Favoto for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the recalled helmet by cutting the straps and write “Recalled” and email a photo of the destroyed helmet to [email protected].

The gum turpentine and mineral spirits contain turpentine and low-viscosity hydrocarbons, respectively, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.

Consumers should secure the recalled bottles out of sight and reach of children immediately and contact Natural Pigments to receive a replacement product with child-resistant packaging or a refund. Consumers will be asked to submit a photo of the recalled product, provide contact information and confirm disposal of the contents before receiving a replacement product with child-resistant packaging or a refund.
