50,000 Smoke-Carbon Monoxide Detectors Recalled, May Malfunction
- Apollo America has issued a recall for approximately 50,000 white units that detect both smoke and carbon monoxide, which were sold exclusively by Vivint between June and October 2024.
- The recall was issued after reports indicated that the detectors might fail to operate correctly and not warn users about the presence of smoke or harmful carbon monoxide, which could lead to serious injury or fatality.
- Vivint sold the detectors online, door-to-door, and by phone for $50 to $100 and announced the recall on June 5, 2025, with the Consumer Product Safety Commission making the announcement.
- Vivint recommends that customers keep their recalled detectors in use until they receive the replacement units, at which point they should promptly set up the new devices. Afterward, consumers should mark the old detectors as "recalled," remove their batteries, and dispose of the units in regular trash, while ensuring lithium batteries are discarded safely at designated hazardous waste or battery recycling facilities.
- No injuries have been reported, Vivint offers free replacements, and consumers can contact the company to verify recall status and check replacements, while the CPSC recommends reviewing carbon monoxide safety information.
