Gas alarm – plug-in carbon monoxide alarm
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Proteam plug-in carbon monoxide alarms (model numbers HO1227 and HO1497, batch codes PO6/001400 and PO6/001474) are being recalled because they cannot reliably detect carbon monoxide at unsafe levels, creating a risk of poisoning and explosion. The alarms also lack required warning labels and instructions about how the device operates, what actions to take if it sounds, and the dangers of carbon monoxide exposure. The product does not meet European safety standard EN 50291.
The manufacturer has voluntarily withdrawn these alarms from the market and is conducting a consumer recall. The affected products are approximately 115mm x 70mm x 30mm white plastic devices with three LED indicators labeled "power," "state," and "alarm," and they were sold either individually or bundled with an EU socket travel adapter in clear plastic packaging. The source does not specify what remedy affected consumers should pursue.
