Bellman & Symfon has recalled approximately 450 Flash Receivers (model BE1442 MHz) used in their Visit smart home system for hearing-impaired individuals. The receiver's backup battery can fail to charge properly, causing the device to stop working and fail to flash during emergencies like fire alarms or incoming phone calls. These white devices are about six inches tall and were sold online at HarrisComm.com between June 2016 and March 2020. Consumers are eligible for a free repair to correct the battery defect.
The back-up battery in the flash receiver may fail to charge, preventing the device from providing visual alerts during an emergency. This failure could result in hearing-impaired individuals being unaware of a sounding fire alarm, doorbell, or telephone, posing a significant safety hazard.
Consumers should immediately contact Bellman & Symfon to receive a free repair. Consumers can continue to use their Flash Receivers until they receive the free repair, but the firm advises in the meantime to unplug and re-plug their units to keep them properly powered.
