The Consumer Product Safety Commission shared on Thursday that almost 328,000 smoke alarms sold nationwide were being recalled because of a malfunction that could cause them to fail to alert fires.
In its recall notice, the CPSC shared that the recalled Three61 smoke alarms were sold online by the Home Shopping Network, now known as HSN. The alarms were imported by the company, which is based in Palm Harbor, Florida.
So far, the company has received eight reports of the smoke alarms failing to activate with the presence of smoke, the notice shared. After the report, tests were performed on them, and one failed to sound.
The recalled detectors are branded as Samurai machines and are plastic but painted white and silver. They also have a model number of SM1, and the word “smoke” appears on the front of the alarm.
The alarms are made in China and were sold nationwide online through HSN from July 2020 through November 2024 for between $40 and $50, the notice shared.
The recalled products are sold in packs of two or three and include adhesive stickers, screws, mounting plates, lithium-ion batteries, and instructions.
Those who purchased one of the recalled alarms are being asked to contact the company for a replacement smoke detector but to keep theirs in place until they receive the new one.
