A Bicycle Helmet is any headgear that is marketed as, or implied through marketing or promotion to be, a device that is intended to provide protection from head injuries while riding a bicycle. When a Bicycle Helmet is designed or intended primarily for children twelve years of age or younger, it is considered a children’s product under the Consumer Product Safety Act.
