CPSC, Fire Control Instruments Announce Recall for Audio Evacuation Units

Hazard

The AEU can enter a "sleep" mode, where it does not communicate with the system. When this occurs, audible evacuation signals associated with the failed AEU will not operate and building occupants may not be warned of an emergency.
