Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20210508-1D6AD-2147364240. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Kidde Smoke Alarm model P4010DCS-W and p4010DCSCO-W. Source model text: i12040 FireX. Incident: I saw a recall for faulty smoke detectors from Kidde. I started to make a report and realized mine is not included in the recall. But after showing it (the report) to two other household members we decided maybe it should be included. I have 6 of the Kidde Model i12040 smoke detectors. All less than a year old. We have three installed, and three back-ups. Twice in the past year we have had three rooms fill with smoke, and not once did any of the alarms sound. Once was from an [REDACTED] that was set-up on the range top. It was pushed back and bumped a burner knob causing the burner to turn on. The room were pretty full of black smoke from melted plastic. No alarm! The next time a small basket of some sort had ignited ( I beleive from a candle) again, smoke filled rooms, no alarm!
