Thousands of smoke detector fire alarms sold exclusively on Amazon are being recalled due to potential malfunctioning that could pose a fire hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced that 11,000 units of the LShome Photoelectric 3-Pack Smoke Detector Fire Alarms may not activate effectively if the sensitivity settings for security alerts are excessively high.
These smoke alarms are circular and white with a light sound warning feature and a test button. They are powered by 9-volt batteries and were available on Amazon from February 2024 to December 2025, retailing for approximately $30. The specific model number affected by this recall is XG-7D04-KZ9Z, and the SKU number is CX-50YP-A5VN, both of which can be found on the underside of the alarm.
Consumers are advised to stop using the smoke detectors immediately and may discard them in the trash. The CPSC has stated that there have been no reported injuries or incidents related to these recalled smoke alarms. For those seeking a refund, the CPSC instructs consumers to reach out via email at lmm15957491237@163.com for guidance on the refund process through Amazon.
Amazon has been contacted for further comment regarding this matter.
