Electrical, lighting and alarms Recalls

Quick Answer

To check whether your electrical, lighting and alarms is recalled, find the model number on its label, then search it at cpsc.gov/Recalls or scan the list below for your brand. A recall means the maker owes you a free repair, replacement, or refund. You do not have to be the original buyer. Stop using the product first if the notice names a fire, shock, or carbon monoxide hazard.

Where to find the model number

Smoke and CO alarms print the model and manufacture date on the back. Light fixtures and fans list the model on a sticker inside the canopy or on the motor housing.
