The emergency escape smoke hoods could fail to work properly, exposing the user to harmful carbon monoxide, which could seriously compromise their ability to escape the fire threat.

In some instances, consumers purchased the smoke hoods for protection from tear gas or chemical warfare agents, but the smoke hoods should be used only to provide protection from smoke caused by fires.
