Honeywell Recalls Faulty Wireless Gateways for Fire Alarm Systems, Says CPSC

Honeywell recalled Swift wireless gateways sold with fire alarm systems, said a Consumer Product Safety Commission notice Friday. Smoke detectors connected to the gateway can fail to activate properly when significant environmental contaminants are present, posing a risk that consumers won’t be alerted to a fire, said CPSC. The 900 gateways affected by the recall were sold between October 2014 and December for about $440 under the Notifier, Fire-Lite, Gamewell-FCI, Honeywell and Johnson Controls brands. No injuries have been reported. Customers should contact Honeywell for a firmware upgrade, CPSC said.
