Product Recall: Sensor Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Model SF80190

Sensor Safe Ltd contacted Limavady Borough Council’s Environmental Health Department concerning a potential safety issue with its Carbon Monoxide Alarm SF80190.

Test results have confirmed that these alarms MAY NOT DETECT LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE and as a result have been taken off sale. All existing stock has been quarantined while recalling those already sold. These alarms have been supplied throughout Northern Ireland.

There remains a large number of these monitors unaccounted for throughout Northern Ireland. Please ensure if you are in possession of the above carbon monoxide alarms to stop using them and return it to your supplier immediately.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
