Security Control Panel Recalled for Fire Hazard

Hazard

The systems can fail to communicate with the central station that should receive the distress signal, which then would fail to alert the fire department, police department, or ambulance service. This poses a safety risk to consumers.

What You Should Do

Remedy

Consumers with these security control panels should contact their service dealers immediately to arrange for an inspection and repair. Meanwhile, in the event of an emergency, consumers should not rely on their security systems to contact emergency personnel.
