What happened

The recalled products can fail to activate the sealed openings that allow suppressant powder to be released from the canister, preventing the device from suppressing fires. The STFS Rangehood suppressors are silver-colored metal with a red label and have a date code of 4516 stamped under the magnet assembly, while the STFS Microhood suppressors have white plastic housing with a date code of DEC 2022 stamped on the underside ramp.
