Bosch Security Systems Recalls Wireless Smoke Alarms Due to Failure to Alert Consumers to a Fire (Recall Alert)

Agency Publication Date: September 9, 2015

Summary

Bosch Security Systems is recalling about 950 Radion wireless round smoke alarms because they can fail to alert consumers to a fire. These alarms were installed as part of Bosch security systems and are made of white plastic, measuring 5.6 inches across and 2.4 inches high. There have been two reports of the alarms failing to sound during installation testing, which could prevent residents from being notified of a fire in their home. Consumers should contact their dealer or installer for a free replacement alarm.

Risk

The alarms can fail to sound and alert residents during a fire, posing a serious fire hazard. Two incidents have been reported where the alarms failed to activate properly during testing.

What You Should Do

Identify if your Bosch Radion wireless smoke alarm is affected by checking the back of the device for the model number 'RFSM-A' and barcode number 'F01U263962'.
