Plain-English summary

System Sensor is recalling approximately 1,450 i4 Series combination carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke detectors. The recall involves models COSMO-2W and COSMO-4W manufactured between September 3, 2014, and September 13, 2014. These round, white detectors measure about 5.5 inches in diameter and have date codes 4091 or 4092 printed on the lower left-hand corner of the label on the back of the product and on the packaging.

The detectors can fail to detect carbon monoxide gas in the home, which poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The recalled detectors were sold to security equipment dealers nationwide during September 2014 for about $75. Consumers should immediately contact System Sensor at (800) 736-7672 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at www.systemsensor.com, to obtain a free replacement combination CO/smoke detector.
