Recall Details
- Company:
- Fyrnetics Limited, of Hong Kong

- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- ongoing
- Hazard:
- A yellow cap left on during the manufacturing process can cover one of the two smoke sensors and compromise the smoke alarm's ability to detect smoke, posing a risk of consumers not being alerted to a fire in their home.
- Remedy:
- Consumers should remove the alarm from the wall/ceiling and visually inspect it through the opening on the side of the alarm for the presence of a yellow cap. Consumers should not attempt to take apart the alarm, open the casing, or otherwise remove the yellow cap themselves.

If no yellow cap is present, consumers should reinstall the smoke alarm and no further action is needed.
