Sure Signal recalls heat-activated fire alarms with defective fusible links that may fail to alert during a fire. Consumers must replace the fuse for free.
A defective fusible link sensor (fuse) on the fire alarm can cause the alarm to fail to alert consumers of a fire.
Sure Signal is recalling heat-activated fire alarms that have a defective fuse which might not sound an alarm during a fire. This could leave people unaware of a fire, increasing the risk of injury or death.
The fire alarm's fusible link fuse can fail to activate during a fire, meaning the alarm won't sound an alert. This could prevent people from knowing there's a fire, leading to potential injury or death.
Homeowners with Sure Signal heat-activated fire alarms purchased between January 2004 and July 2015 are affected. People living in homes with these alarms are most at risk.
Check for the model name on the back of the alarm: DeTech FST2004H, MasterGuard QR50, Responsive TR70-R, or Thermalink QR50. The alarms have a white or chrome fuse about 1.5 inches in diameter at the center.
