On November 24, 2020, Any Volume issued a recall for their bicycle helmets. According to the recall, number 20-710, the bicycle helmets fail to comply with the federal safety standard for bicycle helmets; therefore, the helmets represent a significant risk of head injury to consumers. The recall has affected approximately 660 units of the product.
The recall specifically includes the company’s adult bicycle helmets. The affected helmets are medium-sized and available in a number of colors, including yellow, white, red, pink, green, and blue. The helmets have a black plastic knob at the back (for adjusting the fit); the helmets also have black nylon fabric straps with white striped patterns in the center.
The defective helmets were sold exclusively online via ebay.com; they were available from May 2020 through October 2020 for approximately $15 each. They were manufactured by Dongguan Rikcon Sports Technology and Dongguan Wencan Sporting Goods and imported by West Lake International.
Any Volume is urging all affected consumers to immediately stop using the helmets and contact them for a full refund; the company is contacting known consumers directly.

The Defective Helmets Could Result in Head Injuries
The purpose of helmets is to prevent head injuries during bicycling accidents. Bicycle accidents are very common – they can occur at any time. Although bicycle accidents could result in a number of injuries, head injuries (including traumatic brain injuries) are the most common injuries that result from bicycle accidents. Therefore, helmets are essential for bicyclist safety. Helmets must meet the federal safety standards to ensure that they can keep bicyclists safe in case of an incident. If a defective helmet fails to provide adequate safety, head injuries can occur. Head injuries could lead to cognitive losses, speech loss, vision loss, paralysis, and many other life-long complications. Head injuries can also be fatal. Regardless of the harm that you or a member of your family suffered due to a defective helmet, you might have the right to sue, and you should explore the legal options available to you.
Your Right to Sue Based on Product Liability
Do you have the right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered due to a defective product? Based on the concept of product liability, you might have grounds to sue. Based on product liability, companies owe their consumers a duty of care – a duty to ensure that all of their products are completely free of hazards or dangerous conditions and safe for consumers to use. Companies must test and inspect their products thoroughly to be able to identify and address the hazards present in their products prior to releasing them to the public. When companies fail to do this, they are breaching their duty of care and putting their consumers at risk of injury. When incidents and harm occur due to a breached duty of care, the company could be held accountable. This means that affected consumers could pursue claims; more specifically, consumers could pursue product liability claims. If you are interested in learning more about your right to pursue a product liability claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.

Is there a Class Action Lawsuit?
Can I file a class action lawsuit? How can I join or be a part of a class action lawsuit on this case? If the defective product harmed many parties, then it is likely that there is a class action claim in which you could participate. A class action lawyer can help you figure out how to join the specific class action lawsuit. In some cases, there might be mass torts rather than a class action lawsuit – mass torts are single claims against the same company. For more information about how to proceed with your claim, do not hesitate to contact our recall lawyers as soon as possible.
File Your Claim Quickly
Without a doubt, you have the right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered associated with a defective product; however, you must act immediately to preserve your right to sue. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations. If you do not file your claim within the appropriate length of time, you could lose your right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered.
How long do you have to pursue your claim? In California, product liability claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to pursue their claims. Although this is a strict deadline to sue, certain exceptions could apply (specifically based on the details surrounding the claim). To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the time that you have to pursue your product liability claim against Any Volume or any other company, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm today.
