Chase Co. has announced a voluntary recall of the Firex-branded 10000
series CO alarms and 12000 series smoke/CO combo alarms sold in Canada
with the item numbers 12000C and 12400C. Manufactured in Mexico, the
alarms may go into a “double chirp” fault mode in the presence of CO
prior to the unit going into full alarm mode. This early fault is a
safety hazard because a consumer may take the alarm out of service once
he determines that pressing the Reset button does not correct the fault. GE’s “Low-Voltage Revolution Tour” GE
