Lifetone Technology is recalling approximately 10,000 Lifetone HLAC151 Bedside Fire Alarm and Clocks. These assistive devices, designed for individuals with hearing loss, can fail to operate and fully alert consumers to a fire because the optional bed shaker component may not activate when smoke is detected. There have been 77 reports of these alarms having a blank digital screen, which indicates a failure. The recalled units were sold online and through fire departments and the Red Cross between November 2016 and September 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using the product if the digital display is blank and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.
The device can fail to fully alert users to a fire because the bed shaker attachment may not vibrate during an emergency, potentially leaving sleeping individuals with hearing loss unaware of the danger. While no injuries have been reported, Lifetone has received 77 reports of units failing with blank screens.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product if the digital display is not working and contact Lifetone Technology to receive a prepaid label for the return of the alarms and instructions on receiving a free replacement alarm.
