Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250716-6AB8D-2147329540. Matched catalog product: First Alert SMCO210V. Incident: First alert Smoke and CO detector alarms without cause. I have 5 of these units and two alarm indicating there is a CO issue but report zero ppm of CO (these are talking monitors). I do not have any CO producing devices running in my home. I have moved the devices to various locations and only two of them alarm, regardless of their location. The other three devices never alarm despite being in the same locations as those that do alarm. I feel this is a danger in that it requires people to disable a malfunctioning Smoke and CO detector when they may not have a substitute device available. This has happened over the last week. The first device alarmed and was replaced, the replacement ( I had an extra available, new in the box and unactivated) started alarming a few days later.
