Hazard identified

Should a power outage occur at the same second that the device is performing a once-per-minute sensor health check, the device may go into a “latched” mode, causing it not to alarm in the presence of smoke and/or carbon monoxide. An affected device will sound if it receives a signal from an alarm in the same interconnected system. Once power is restored, a latched device will sound an alarm regardless of the presence of smoke and/or carbon monoxide.

Health Canada and Kidde received one report of a consumer incident related to the use of this product. Neither Kidde nor Health Canada have received any reports of consumer injuries related to the use of these products.
