OT Smoke Detector Recall

[Fred Townsend-2]

ESL, Interlogix Hard-Wired Smoke Alarms Recalled Due to Failure to Alert Consumers of a Fire

Recall Summary
Name of product:
ESL and Interlogix brand 400/500 series smoke detectors manufactured in China.

 
Hazard:

Radio frequency interference can cause the smoke detectors to fail to alert consumers of a fire.

Folks these are smoke detectors hard-wired into security systems likely installed within the last two years by the builder of your house or apartment. They are deactivated by RF meaning your ham radio could deactivate your smoke detector. Kind of important considering how many smoke tests some of us run. Don't forget to tell your neighbors too, especially if your houses are built by the same contractor.

73, Fred, AE6QL
