Machir is recalling about 24,820 biometric personal safes because the biometric lock feature can fail, allowing unauthorized individuals to open the safe. This defect is particularly dangerous if the safe is being used to store firearms. These black safes measure approximately 10 by 14 by 10 inches and were sold exclusively on Amazon.com between September 2021 and February 2023. The firm has received 15 reports of unauthorized users gaining access due to lock failure, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers can receive a free replacement safe after following instructions to disable the biometric lock on their current unit.
The biometric lock on these safes can malfunction, allowing anyone to open the unit without a registered fingerprint. If the safe is used to store firearms or other dangerous items, this failure poses a serious risk of injury or death to children or other unauthorized individuals who gain access.
Consumers should immediately stop using the biometric lock feature, remove the batteries, and only use the key for the recalled safes to store their items until they get the free replacement. Contact Machir to receive instructions on disabling the biometric lock feature and on how 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 Info@machir.com in order to receive a replacement safe. The instructions on how to safely destroy the biometric reader are also located at http://machir.com/biorecall/.
Serial numbers are located on the lower righthand corner of the front door.
