Sensor Safe Ltd. has contacted both Derry City Council and Limavady Borough Council’s Environmental Health Departments concerning a potential safety issue with its Carbon Monoxide Alarm SF80190.

Test results have confirmed that “these alarms may not detect levels of carbon monoxide and as a result have been taken off sale.”

All existing stock has been quarantined while recalling those already sold. These alarms have been supplied throughout Northern Ireland.

The company says there remains a large number of the alarms unaccounted for throughout Northern Ireland.

It warns owners to stop using them and return them to suppliers immediately.
