Recently
Kidde Recalled 3.6 million Combination Smoke/CO Alarms Due to an Alarm Failure
Hazard.
The combination smoke/carbon monoxide (CO) alarm can fail to
continue to chirp when it reaches its 7-year end of life if the batteries are
replaced, leading consumers to believe it is still working. This poses a risk of
consumers not being alerted to a fire or CO incident in their home. The
recalled alarms were sold through electrical distributors and home centers
nationwide and online at Amazon.com from June 2004 through December
2010.

recall.
