Warning: Kids’ Bike Helmets Recalled in New Jersey
Riding a bike is one of the most fun and freeing activities for kids, but it also comes with risks. That’s why wearing a helmet is more than just a smart idea, it’s a must. What is it about helmets that kids don't want to wear them?
Little kids seem to love them, then they just lose their "coolness". But, it's scary. Wear your helmet. Protect your noggin.
Helmets are the first line of defense in protecting a child’s head from serious injury. Even a simple fall off a bike can result in a concussion, skull fracture, or long-term brain injury.
