While no injuries have been reported, Three61 has received eight reports of smoke alarms failing to activate in the presence of smoke. The recalled alarms, which were manufactured in China, bear the model number on their packaging and feature the word “Smoke” on the front below a button. The batteries included in the recall must be disposed of in accordance with local and state guidelines, avoiding standard trash or recycling methods.

For more information or to initiate a replacement, customers can contact Three61 via email at recall@samuraibrands.com or visit their recall webpage.
