Edwards Recalls Mechanical Heat Detectors Due to Failure to Alert to Fire

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The recalled heat detectors can fail to activate in reaction to rising temperatures, posing a risk of failure to alert consumers to a fire.

What to do

Consumers who use the product in life-safety applications permitted by code (for example, in elevator shafts, or in lieu of smoke detectors, manual pull stations, or sprinklers in particular settings), or in residential attics or residential garages, should immediately contact a fire or security alarm professional for free replacement and installation of the heat detector.
