Infant bicycle helmets sold at Target recalled for risks of injury
Infant bicycle helmets imported by Wisconsin-based Pacific Cycle Inc., and sold exclusively in China, are being recalled because of choking and magnet ingestion hazards, according to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The China-made helmets, with magnetic non-pinch plastic-covered buckle chin straps for infants ranging from one to three years old, were sold exclusively at Target Corp. stores and Target.com from January 2014 through April 2016, for between $18 and $25. The recall comes after Pacific Cycle received three reports of the plastic cover coming loose, although no injuries have been reported. Target's stock was down 1.1% in afternoon trade. It has gained 1.6% year to date, while the SPDR S&P Retail ETF has shed 5.2% and the S&P 500 has ticked up 0.6%.
