Kidde Recalls Dual Sensor Smoke Alarm Due to Potential Safety Risk

At Landmark, we have restored many homes that have been extensively damaged by fire. Although we love remodeling homes, we prefer it when the homeowner has decided to remodel based on their family’s needs, rather than because of a devastating fire.

We wanted to let you know that Kidde has recalled one of their popular smoke detectors – more than 452,000 units need to be checked. Below, you’ll find simple instructions to determine if your smoke detector is part of the recall.  If it is, please proceed directly to Kidde’s web site for more information.
