The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using GuardianSense/ KLTseanife brand Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarm model YHW-542COM-R immediately because the detectors fail to alarm in the presence of hazardous smoke and fire, posing a risk of serious injury or death from smoke and fire hazards.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the detectors immediately, dispose of them and install working smoke alarms and CO detectors. Do not sell or give away these hazardous detectors.
Note: Consumers should install smoke alarms and CO detectors on each level of their homes and outside separate sleeping areas. Smoke alarms and CO detectors should be battery operated or have battery backup. Test smoke alarms and CO detectors frequently and replace batteries as needed. Consumers should only buy smoke alarms and CO detectors that meet the UL 2034 and UL 217 safety standards.

The detectors are made of white plastic and feature a digital display. The model, YHW-542COM-R, and the manufacturer are listed on the back of the product.
