The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission or CPSC announced the recall of about 6,800 units of CHZHVAN Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors citing failure to alert to fire.

The China-made products were sold exclusively on Amazon.com by Haikouhuidishangmaoyouxiangongsi. Meanwhile, the agency noted that the firm has not responded to it or consumers and has been uncooperative in the implementation of the recall.

The recall involves CHZHVAN brand combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with the model number JKD-512. They are made of white plastic and measure about four inches in diameter.

They were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2023 through January 2024 for between $18 and $59.

CPSC said the detectors can fail to activate, posing a risk that consumers will not be alerted to a fire.

The recall was initiated after receiving five reports of the detectors failing to alarm in the presence of smoke. However, no injuries have been reported so far.

Consumers are urged to dispose of the product.

In similar recalls, Honeywell International Inc. in mid-March called back about 29,000 units of System Sensor L-Series low frequency fire alarm sounders, sounder strobes, and compact sounders as they were likely to fail to alert consumers to a fire.
