Reported risk: The alarms may go into a "double chirp" fault mode in the presence of CO prior to the unit going into full alarm mode. This early fault presents a safety hazard if, consistent with the instruction of the Owner's Manual, a consumer takes the alarm out of service once it is determined that pressing the reset button does not correct the fault. This creates the potential for the consumer to take the alarm out of service during a CO emergency. There have been no incidents or injuries reported to Health Canada or Firex relating to the hazard.
