Amazon shoppers who purchased several models of carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke detectors should stop using them because they may fail to detect smoke and/or? the deadly gas, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns.
Sensitivity tests performed by CPSC on PETRICOR, VARWANEO and WJZTEK detectors found that they failed to issue an alert when exposed to a predetermined concentration of smoke. Meanwhile, tests performed on OKEAH devices found that they didn’t issue an alert when exposed to a concentration of carbon monoxide at 400 parts per million and a predetermined concentration of smoke. Both failed tests are a violation of voluntary safety standards.
If you have any of these brands, go to www.cpsc.gov/ and search for details on that model number.
