Samurai Mini Smoke Alarms
Description
This recall involves Samurai-branded mini smoke alarms, model number SM1. The white and silver plastic smoke alarms measure about 2.5 by 2.5 by 2.5 inches. They were sold in packs of two or three alarms and came with lithium-ion batteries, adhesive stickers, screws, mounting plates and an instruction manual. "Smoke" appears on the front of the alarm below a button and "installed on" on the back. The model number is located on the product packaging.
Hazard
The smoke alarms can malfunction and fail to alert consumers of a fire, posing a risk of smoke inhalation or death. Smoke sensitivity tests performed on the alarms by CPSC found that one of the detectors that was tested failed to alert when exposed to pre-determined concentrations of smoke.
Incidents / injuries
Three61 has received eight reports of the alarms failing to activate in the presence of smoke. No injuries have been reported.
