FireX Branded 10000 Series Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms and 12000 Series CO/Smoke Combo Alarms
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Maple Chase Co. is recalling FireX branded carbon monoxide and combination carbon monoxide/smoke alarms from their 10000 and 12000 series that were manufactured between June 1, 2007 and February 1, 2008. The recalled alarms can emit a "double chirp" fault alarm when carbon monoxide is present before sounding a full alarm. The Owner's Manual instructs consumers to take the alarm out of service upon hearing this double chirp, which could expose them to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and risk serious injury or death.
Affected consumers should contact Maple Chase immediately to receive a free replacement alarm and arrange to return their recalled unit. Consumers should not remove the alarm from service until they have received a replacement alarm.
