Wednesday, April 4, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Smoke alarm recall Festival welcomes new coordinator The Oregon State Fire Marshal reported that the manufacturer Kidde has issued a recall of 452,000 dual sensor (photoelectric and ionization) smoke alarms sold in the United States. The smoke alarms have the model numbers PI2010 (AC/ hardwired) and PI9010 (DC/ battery powered). “KIDDE” is printed on the front cen- ter of the smoke alarm. The model number and date code are printed on the back of the alarm. Kidde states that a yel- low protective cap in limited instances may have been left on one of the two smoke sensors during the manufactur- ing process, which could compromise the smoke alarms’ abil- ity to detect smoke. Consumers should remove the alarm from the wall/ceiling and visu- ally inspect it through the opening on the side of the alarm for the presence of a yellow cap. Consumers should not attempt to take apart the alarm, open the cas- ing, or otherwise remove the cap themselves. If the yel- low cap is present, the con- sumer should immediately contact Kidde to receive instructions and request a free replacement alarm. They should remove the recalled smoke alarm ONLY AFTER they receive and install the replacement alarm. If no Kate Donovan has joined Sisters Folk Festival as the organization’s Volunteer Coordinator.
