Kidde NightHawk combination smoke/carbon monoxide (CO) alarms
Published November 10, 2016 · Recall initiated: November 10, 2016
What's the hazard
The 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.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled alarms and contact Kidde directly for a free replacement alarm based on date of manufacture or a discount on a new alarm.
