Digital Security Controls is recalling about 32,000 smoke detectors that could fail to detect smoke during a fire.
The recall involves Digital Security Controls FSA and FSB series photo-electric smoke detectors. They are wired directly into the building circuitry, and do not use a battery. The dome shaped units have a metal mesh covering around the smoke sensor.
The units were sold by commercial and residential installers nationwide from October 2006 through December 2006 for between $60 and $70 per unit.
Customers should immediately contact their installer to receive a free inspection to determine if their units are included in the recall. If so, they will receive free replacement smoke detectors with installation. Customers also can contact Digital Security Controls for additional information on how to receive free replacement smoke detectors. Only professional installers should remove and replace these units.
