BPA in bike helmet
I purchased a Specialized Align II MIPS helmet after returning my Lazer Compact DLX MIPS helmet because the Lazer had lead in the helmet (presumably in the built-in led light), and there was a California Prop 65 warning stating there was Bisphenol A (BPA) in the helmet. Is my Specialized helmet safe to use?

You're really overthinking this my dude. Are you planning on using the helmet as a drinking vessel? Or otherwise ingesting any part of the helmet? I would assume everything made of plastic has some level of toxicity, and if that causes you too much anxiety then ride without a helmet.

Stop the trolling. Thread closed. By the way, all helmet discussions are here.
