Recalls & Safety Alerts
Older fire alarm equipment stays in service for decades. This reference highlights recalls, manufacturer safety advisories, firmware issues, and product warnings that technicians may still encounter.
A familiar model name does not automatically mean a device is affected. Match the model, firmware, date code, or other identifying information to the official source before making a recommendation.
Field reference
Honeywell identifies a safety issue involving BG-10 series pull stations manufactured from 1992 through 2010 and recommends replacement with the appropriate BG-12 series model.
Open field alert →CPSC recalled specific NOTIFIER operating-system firmware versions because the panel could fail to process an alarm condition. The recall is firmware-specific, not a blanket recall of every panel bearing these model numbers.
Open recall reference →Affected NOTIFIER, Fire-Lite, Gamewell-FCI, Honeywell, and Johnson Controls gateways could prevent connected smoke detectors from activating properly under significant environmental contamination. Honeywell's remedy was a gateway firmware update.
Open recall reference →CPSC recalled about 3,500 affected pull stations in 2016 because the pull handle could break when activated, potentially preventing the fire alarm from sounding.
Open recall reference →The CPSC warning identifies Model KH158 4-in-1 natural gas and carbon monoxide detectors and advises consumers to stop using affected products.
Open safety notice →CPSC warns that certain TJTFJS combination detectors can fail to alert occupants to hazardous smoke and fire.
Open safety notice →FireAlarmGuy keeps the source classification intact. A CPSC recall is labeled as a recall; a manufacturer safety advisory or CPSC product warning is not relabeled as one. Official manufacturer and government instructions control.
