About 375,000 heat-activated fire alarms sold under the brand names DeTech, MasterGuard, Responsive, and Thermalink are being recalled. A defective fusible link sensor (fuse) at the center of the alarm can fail, preventing the device from alerting occupants in the event of a fire. These white, round alarms are approximately 7 inches in diameter and were sold by fire alarm dealers nationwide between January 2004 and September 2015.
The defective fuse prevents the alarm from triggering when high temperatures are detected, which could lead to delayed notification of a fire and increase the risk of serious injury or death. No injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately contact Sure Signal Products for free replacement fuses. A video with instructions on how to replace the fuse is available at http://SureSignalProducts.com.
