50,000 Smoke Detectors Recalled Due to Carbon Monoxide and Fire Risk—See If Yours Is Affected
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled about 50,000 smoke detectors due to a malfunction that may prevent them from alerting consumers to fires and carbon monoxide leaks, posing a potentially deadly risk.
The recalled smoke detectors are the Apollo America Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors with model number "51000-600" labeled on the back. On the front of the recalled product states "Replace by" followed by a date ranging from June 2034 to October 2034.
The recalled smoke detectors were manufactured and sold for $50 to $100 online, door-to-door, and through telephone sales by Vivint between June 2024 and October 2024. According to the CPSC, there have been no reported injuries or incidents, but these detectors "pose a risk of smoke inhalation, carbon monoxide poisoning or death."
If you think you may have the recalled smoke detector, check the information and contact Vivint for a free replacement by calling 800-281-9667, emailing recalls@ or visiting the recall website for a replacement guide.
