Kidde is recalling 3.6 million smoke
alarms in the United States, and another 1.5 mllion in Canada, the
company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on
Thursday.
The recall involves the
Kidde NightHawk talking combo smoke/carbon monoxide alarm with model
number KN-COSM-IB and manufacture dates between June 1, 2004 and Dec.
31, 2010.
The
alarm can fail to continue to chirp when it reaches its seven year
end-of-life, even if the batteries are replaced, leading consumers to
believe it is still working. Kidde has received eight reports of
incidents with the recalled alarms; no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled alarms and contact Kidde for a free replacement alarm. Consumer Contact: Kidde toll-free at 855-239-0490 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Notice" for more information.
