Approximately 3,500 National Time & Signal 541S fire alarm pull stations have been recalled because the pull handle can break during use, preventing the alarm from activating. These red and white rectangular stations were sold exclusively in Michigan and installed in schools, apartments, and businesses between October 2005 and April 2007. One incident of a handle breaking during routine testing has been reported, though no injuries have occurred. National Time & Signal is offering a free inspection and repair for all affected units.
The pull handle on these fire alarm stations is defective and can snap when someone tries to pull it. If the handle breaks, the fire alarm system will fail to activate, leaving occupants unaware of a fire emergency.
Consumers should immediately contact National Time & Signal to schedule a free inspection and repair. National Time & Signal is contacting all purchasers of the recalled pull stations directly.
