The helmets don't protect children's heads in a crash, officials said.

A random letter soup brand "KORIMEFA" isn't making helmets up to snuff? I'm shocked.
- It also means there are probably 7 other “brands” that need recalling because there’ they’re the same helmet.
  
  Exactly. Probably many more than 7. And the fact that Amazon somehow doesn't carry any responsibility while profiting from the letter soup brands directly and indirectly is mind boggling.
- You should see their ebikes!
  
  I have and it's so unfortunate people give their hard earned money for them.
- I sorta am. The things are just styrofoam with a plastic skin.
  
  There various strengths of styrofoam. Check out Berm Peak stepping on some helmets.
About 60

That's how many of these were recalled, according to the official recall site. No injuries were reported, thankfully.
It says they "do not comply with the positional stability requirements". A bit of a convoluted description, does that mean they can slip off of your head in a fall?
- I think so, but yeah, strangely worded.
