Saftey! Kiddie Recalled over 200,000 Smoke, Carbon monoxide, and combo dectectors May 07, 2021
>With placement on the shelves of Home Depot, Kidde is the most prominent competitor to First Alert, but its overall track record is, in a word, disturbing. In 2018, the company recalled more than [450,000 dual-sensor smoke in 2016, it recalled [3.6 million smoke/CO and in 2014, it recalled [1.2 million smoke/CO In addition, since 2005, Kidde has enacted three separate fire extinguisher recalls of [470,000 (2005), [4.6 million (2015), and [40 million (2017). Worst of all, in early 2021, a federal judge ordered Kidde to pay a [$12 million civil “in connection with allegations that the company failed to timely inform the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) about problems with fire extinguishers manufactured by the company.” **For these reasons, we can’t, in good conscience, recommend any Kidde products to our readers.**.
