HomeSafe Gun Locks Recalled for Fire Hazard
Hazard
Under certain conditions, these locks can open without the use of a key. This can give unauthorized access to a firearm.
What You Should Do
NSSF urges consumers to comply with all state and local laws requiring the use of gun locking devices. Recipients of the Project HomeSafe (now Project ChildSafe) gun locks should call NSSF to receive a free replacement gun lock. Until the replacement gun lock is received, keep the original Project HomeSafe lock installed on the firearm. Consumers are reminded to never put a gun lock on a loaded gun, and to take extra precautions to make sure the gun is secure to keep kids safe. The replacement lock has an improved locking mechanism and a thicker braided-steel cable. With the announcement of this replacement lock program, NSSF is resuming Project HomeSafe (Now Project ChildSafe) and encourages communities to enroll in the nationwide program by having a law enforcement official contact the NSSF.
Consumers may call (203) 426-1320 or (203) 270-2360 anytime. For more information on the safe handling and storage of firearms, visit the Project ChildSafe website at www.projectchildsafe.org
