Recall Summary:

Name of Product: Kidde hardwired smoke alarm (model i12010S) and combination smoke/carbon monoxide (CO) alarms (models KN-COSM-IBA and i12010SCO).

Hazard: The alarms could fail to alert consumers of a fire or a CO incident in the event of a power outage. While power remains out, an affected device will sound if it receives a signal from an alarm in the same interconnected system. Once power is restored, an affected device will sound an alarm regardless of the presence of smoke and/or carbon monoxide.

Remedy: Replace. (Consumers are instructed not to take their product(s) out of service until they obtain their product replacement from the company.)
