Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Academy Sports + Outdoors has recalled about 6,100 Redfield 12-Gun and 18-Gun Fireproof Safes because the internal locking plates can fail to align. This defect allows unauthorized users to open the safe and access firearms or other valuables. These dark gray steel safes were sold at Academy Sports + Outdoors stores and online from February 2024 through August 2024. Consumers should immediately stop using these safes and return them for a full refund or replacement.

Risk

The mechanical locking plates inside the safe can fail to align properly, allowing the safe to be opened by unauthorized individuals without a passcode. This poses a serious risk of injury or death if firearms are accessed by unauthorized users, such as children.

  2. Check the red label at the bottom right corner of the safe door to locate the model and serial number.
  3. Identify if your safe is affected by checking for serial numbers starting with G02B or G03B (for 12-gun models) or G10A, G11A, G12A, G01B, G02B, or G03B (for 18-gun models).
  4. Immediately stop using the recalled safes to store firearms or other dangerous items.
  5. Return the safe to any Academy Sports + Outdoors store for a free replacement safe or a full refund, or contact Academy's Customer Care to arrange for a remedy.
