One of America’s leading manufacturers of fire safety products is recalling 226,000 TruSense combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms because they may fail to alert people to a fire.

The recalled alarms were sold at Walmart, Home Depot, Menards and other department, home and hardware stores and electrical distributors nationwide, and online at Amazon.com, and other online retailers from May 2019 through September 2020 for between $10 and $70.
