Chicago, Illinois – About 11,000 smoke detectors sold online are being recalled after officials warned they may fail to alert during a fire, posing a serious injury or death risk.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Illinois State Fire Marshal, the recall involves LShome 3-Pack Photoelectric Smoke Detector Fire Alarms sold exclusively on Amazon.com.
The hazard stems from a sensing threshold that may be set too high, preventing the alarm from sounding in a timely manner during a fire. Officials said the failure could delay evacuation and increase the risk of injury.
The recalled alarms are white, circular, 9-volt battery-operated units with a light and sound warning and test button. Model number “XG-70D4-KZ9Z” and SKU “CX-50YP-A5VN” are printed on the bottom of the devices.
The units were sold online from February 2024 through December 2025 for about $30. They were imported by TIANJINSHIHAOWEIXINSHENGJIDIANANZHUANGGONGCHENG of China and manufactured in China.
Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled smoke alarms and contact the firm at lmm15957491237@163.com for instructions on receiving a full refund through Amazon. The alarms can be discarded in household trash after deactivation.
No injuries have been reported.
Working smoke detectors are critical safety devices in homes, apartments, and dormitories, especially for students and young renters living independently.
