Flammable gas monitoring and control device – Z10 series
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
SF Detection (by Honeywell Analytics) has issued a voluntary recall of Z10 series flammable gas detectors manufactured between March 2005 and September 2006. The detectors may lose sensitivity to gas over time, and in some cases this loss of sensitivity could be significant enough that the device fails to provide any warning before a hazardous explosive gas mixture accumulates. The affected models include Z10 variants designed for natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) use in homes, caravans, boats, and similar applications, and the product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and European standard EN 50194.
The recall affects multiple Z10 models including the Z10a, Z10b, Z10c, Z10d, and Z10e units with various power supply configurations and sensor types. The source document does not specify what remedy affected consumers should pursue.

This product poses a risk of explosion and injuries because Z10 detector’s sensitivity to gas can reduce over time. In some instances the reduction may be sufficient that, in the event of a gas leak, the detector might not give any warning before a hazardous (explosive) gas mixture builds up. This product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 50194.
