Plain-English summary

Alpha Guardian, of Henderson, Nev., is recalling about 1,250 Stack-On Sentinel model gun safes. The black steel safes, which measure 40 inches by 25 inches by 55 inches and hold approximately ten firearms, were sold at Dick's Sporting Goods stores nationwide from November 2018 through December 2018 for about $700. The style number FSS18-64-MB-E-S is found on the shipping packaging, and the "Sentinel" name appears on the front of the safe.

The recall is due to a bolt malfunction that can cause the safe to open without the use of a key or combination. This allows access to any firearms stored inside, posing an injury hazard. Alpha Guardian has received one report of the safe opening, resulting in no injuries.

Consumers should immediately stop using the safe and contact Alpha Guardian for instructions on receiving a free replacement safe or a full refund. Alpha Guardian can be reached toll-free at 833-255-9827 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or by email at [email protected] and online at www.AlphaGuardian.com.
