The CPSC and Sakar International are recalling Credhedz Lizard Helmets, Crayola Dry Erase Helmets, and Tony Hawk Multi-Purpose Helmets.  These helmets fail to meet the federal bicycle helmet positional stability and retention system safety requirements thus creating head injury risks.  About 33,100 helmets were sold at Big Lots, Ollies Bargain Outlet and other stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com.  Immediately discontinue use of these helmets and contact Sakar at 1-800-592-9541 or via email at support@sakar.com to receive prepaid packaging for helmet return and a full refund.
