National Recall: Your Smoke Detector Might Not be Working

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for more than 226,000 smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The recall comes on the heels of complaints that the dual detectors, manufactured by Kidde and sold under the name “TruSense,” don’t do anything when they detect smoke or carbon monoxide.

The recalled models include series 2040, 2050, 2060 and 2070, the commission reports. Only models marked “TruSense” are included.

⚠️ RECALL ALERT ⚠️
Do you have one of these detectors in your home?

The Kidde TruSense Smoke Alarms and combination smoke/carbon monoxide alarms were sold at Walmart, Home Depot, Menards, Amazon and other stores between May 2019 and September 2020.https://t.co/thdL07loeP
