Plain-English summary

Stack-On Products Company is recalling approximately 1,320 Stack-On Strong Box Safes. The recalled safes weigh about 14 pounds, feature an electronic keypad lock, are gray in color, and were sold with four AA batteries. They were manufactured in China and sold nationwide through gun supply stores, sporting good stores, and safe retail stores for about $40.
