Bell Racing Recalls Collectible Mini Racing Helmets Due to Lead Paint

Bell Racing has Recalled Collectible Mini Racing Helmets Due to Lead Paint

The recalled products are six-inch tall, collectible, miniature helmets, modeled after helmets worn by several race car drivers. The follow models are included in the recall: Terry Borcheller helmet, part number 2005740; Kurt Busch helmet, part number 2001368; and Vitor Meira helmet, part number 2001381. The part number is located on the product’s packaging with the UPC.

If you have one of these helmets then it’s said that you should take the recalled helmets away from young children immediately and contact Bell Racing to receive a full refund.
