Thanks for putting this out there...

That link isn't working but it should be common sense that a combination device should have never been made as smoke rises and carbon monoxide sinks... where on earth were you supposed to place that thing...high or low..

Fixed the link.... thank you!

I would comment that is 'typical' of a 'government' agency....you 'need' 2 of them.. one high, one low.

The replacement to be provided is also a combination unit.

"Consumers should immediately contact System Sensor to obtain a free replacement combination CO/smoke detector. Consumers should keep using the recalled detectors until replacement detectors are installed."
