Honeywell has recalled approximately 22,000 Gamewell-FCI and Notifier "-IV" Intelligent photoelectric smoke sensors. These ivory-colored, four-inch round sensors can malfunction, causing commercial fire alarm systems to fail to alert people during a fire. The affected units were sold by distributors nationwide between March 2018 and January 2019 for about $115 and were installed primarily in commercial buildings.
The sensor can fail to detect smoke or communicate with the fire alarm panel, preventing the system from triggering an alarm. This failure to alert occupants during a fire creates a significant risk of injury or death, though no incidents have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately contact Gamewell-FCI or Notifier to receive a free replacement photoelectric smoke sensor.
