Kidde recalled thousands of TruSense Smoke and Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarms Thursday because they "fail to alert consumers to a fire."
Approximately 220,000 Kidde smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms were recalled from a variety of Chicago area department stores, including Walmart, Home Depot, Menards and websites like Amazon.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the arms "can fail to alert consumers to a fire" and should be replaced. For a free replacement, call (844) 796-9972 or go online to kidde.com
