Original Message
1.3 million smoke/carbon monoxide detectors have been recalled. These are the hard wire type connected directly to house wiring. These may have been installed in new homes during the building process.
Please check yours to see if they are Kidde brand. This is a serious issue folks. Make sure that your family and pets will be safe!

1.3 Million Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Recalled

More than 1 million alarms intended to alert people to smoke and carbon monoxide in their homes are being recalled because of a defect that could cause them to fail, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday.
The Kidde smoke alarms and combination smoke detector/CO alarms are hard-wired, and can fail following a power outage, the CPSC said. About 1.2 million were sold in the U.S. and about 112,000 were sold in Canada. The problem, Kidde said, is in the programming code of the devices.
