Smoke Detectors Recall


GE Interlogix is recalling 14,000 ESL smoke detectors. These smoke detectors may
fail to work properly upon installation or if there is an extended loss of
power. If the smoke alarms fail to detect fire or smoke, it poses a serious
hazard to occupants inside of the dwelling.

The ESL 500N smoke detectors are hard-wired and require professional
installation. The recalled alarms have the following model numbers, which are
located on the back of the detectors: 521NB, 521NCSXT, 541NB, 541NCSXT,
541NCXTE, 521NBXT, 521NCSRXT, 541NBXT, 541NCSRH, 541NCSXTE, 521NCRXT, 541NCRXT,
and 541NCSRXT. Also on the back of the alarms are the letters, "ESL," and the
manufacturing date code of "0223" through "0323" (23rd week of 2002 through 23rd
week of 2003). Units that may not work properly can be identified by the lack of
the flashing red indicator light, though all units with the aforementioned model
and dates codes should be replaced.

Distributors, dealers and installers of security systems nationwide sold or
installed these smoke detectors from June 2002 through June 2003 for between
$125 and $175.

Consumers should contact the company to receive free installation of a
replacement smoke detector.

Contact GEI at 1-800-648-7422 from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or
log on to the company's Web site: www.geinterlogix.com.

Consumers also can contact their installer or service provider to determine if
they have a recalled unit and/or to arrange for the free installation of a new
unit.
