More than 300,000 smoke alarms sold on HSN, formerly known as the Home Shopping Network, have been recalled due to the risk of them failing to alert homeowners to smoky conditions.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday issued a recall warning for about 328,000 Samurai Mini Smoke Alarms.
The agency said it performed smoke sensitivity tests on the small, white-and-silver alarms and found one that malfunctioned.
Samurai’s owner, Three61, said it has received eight reports of the mini alarms failing to alert owners to smoky conditions. No injuries have been reported.
The affected smoke alarms have the model number SM1 and were sold through HSN nationwide, and on HSN.com, from July 2020 through November 2024.
They cost between between $40 and $50.
Three61 will send a free replacement smoke alarm, including shipping costs, to customers who fill out a form on their website, or reach out via phone or email.
To register for a replacement, consumers must write “Recalled” with a permanent marker on the mini smoke alarm and submit a photo of the alarm to the recall website. Once the alarm is registered, the company will immediately ship a replacement.
CPSC urged customers to keep the recalled alarms installed until they receive the replacement.
“Your safety and that of your family is our priority,” Samurai said in a statement on its website. “We strongly urge you to register below and participate in this recall.”
The affected alarms were sold in one-, two- and three-packs and came with lithium-ion batteries, stickers, screws, mounting plates and an instruction manual.
