Awesafe has recalled about 60,000 biometric gun safes because the biometric lock can fail, allowing unauthorized people to open the safe. The recalled units are black, designed to fit two pistols, and feature the "Awesafe" brand name on the front. While no injuries have been reported, there have been 71 reports of unauthorized individuals accessing firearms when the lock failed to secure the unit.
The biometric lock on these safes can fail, which allows unauthorized users—including children—to access firearms. This defect poses a serious risk of accidental injury or death. The manufacturer has received dozens of reports of the safe being opened by unauthorized users.
Consumers should immediately stop using the biometric feature, remove the batteries, and only use the key for the recalled safes to store firearms until they get the free replacement safe. Contact Awesafe to receive instructions on disabling the biometric feature and to receive a free replacement safe. Consumers will be asked to disable the biometric reader and email a photo of the disabled biometric reader to Recall@awesafeus.com in order to receive a replacement safe. The instructions on how to safely disable the biometric reader are also located at http://awesafeus.com/RECALL. Once they receive their replacement safe, consumers should discard the recalled safe in accordance with local laws.
Brand name "Awesafe" is printed on the front of the unit.
