CPSC issues recall for faulty camera and CO detector

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission recently issued back-to-back recalls for a pair of security products from two of the biggest manufacturers in the industry. Both GE Security and Honeywell had faulty products recalled in February, with one product recall due to a safety issue and the other due to a malfunction. The first recalled occurred with GE Security’s ESL 240-COE carbon monoxide alarm. The commission reported the product failed to detect carbon monoxide after one year of operation due to a software issue. A recall for Honeywell followed a few weeks later involving its Ademco Rapid Dome security camera. According to the CPSC, the indoor video camera plastic mounting assembly can crack allowing the dome and camera to fall from where it is mounted. For more information about the recalls, contact Honeywell at 800-573-0154 and GE Security at 800-648-7422.
