In cooperation
with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission,
Universal Security Instruments Inc., of Owings
Mills, Maryland, is voluntarily
recalling about 34,000 smoke alarms.
The smoke alarms can fail to alarm when smoke or
fire is present. A capacitor in the alarm can burn
out, releasing smoke and melting the cover. The
models can be identified by removing the alarm cover
from its base and looking for the manufacture date
code and model number. The smoke alarms are made of
white plastic and have the manufacture date code and
model number imprinted on the back of the alarm.
