Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The GunBox LLC is recalling about 1,000 GunBox gun storage boxes because the locking mechanism can fail if the case is dropped. This defect allows unauthorized access to the firearm stored inside, which poses a serious safety risk. The recalled boxes are aluminum, clam-shaped cases with an RFID scanner and a T-shaped logo on top, and were sold online at thegunbox.com between January 2014 and February 2014. The GunBox LLC is providing a free replacement locking mechanism to all affected customers.

Risk

If the storage box is dropped, the internal locking mechanism can disengage and pop open. This allows immediate and unintended access to a loaded firearm by unauthorized users, including children.

  2. Verify if you have version 01 of these models, which were sold between January 2014 and February 2014.
  3. Contact The GunBox LLC toll-free at 866-764-0009 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday to receive instructions on returning your unit for a free replacement locking mechanism.
