Approximately 20 Treatlife Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors have been recalled due to a critical safety defect that could prevent them from alerting consumers to fires, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This malfunction poses a significant risk of serious injury or death from smoke inhalation or burns.
The recalled units are battery-operated, white, and circular, featuring a colored light and a test button. The specific identifying marks for these detectors include the FCC ID “2ANDL-XR3″ and a date of manufacture stamped as “2023.DEC.02” on the bottom side of the alarm. These devices were sold exclusively on Amazon.com by Treatlife Technology between November 2025 and April 2026, with a retail price of approximately $40.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Consumers who purchased these Treatlife detectors are advised to contact Treatlife Technology immediately to arrange for a full refund. While awaiting a replacement detector, it is recommended that consumers continue to use the recalled units to maintain a level of safety. Once a new, functioning detector has been installed, consumers should take steps to properly dispose of the recalled product. This involves writing “recalled” on the device, removing the batteries, and then discarding the detector in regular household garbage. The batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local and state regulations.
While no incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall, the potential for failure to alert in a fire emergency highlights the importance of functional safety devices in the home. The CPSC oversees thousands of product types and works to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury, noting that consumer product-related incidents cost the nation over $1 trillion annually. Federal law prohibits the sale of products subject to a Commission-ordered or voluntary recall undertaken with the CPSC.
