The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fortress Safe announced the recall of 61,000 biometric gun safes because of a malfunction that gives anyone access to the safes.
Naperville, Illinois-based Fortress Safe announced the recall of nearly 61,000 biometric gun safes because of a serious safety hazard, and potentially deadly malfunction that could give anyone access to the firearms inside. The company announced the recall with the U.S.
recent lawsuit alleges that a 12-year-old boy was able to access a firearm inside one of the safes in question, and died, according to CPSC. There have also been 39 consumer-reported incidents in which the safes were accessed with unpaired fingerprints.
The safes were sold at places like Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Scheel’s, Sportsman’s Guide, Optics Planet, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Gander, Rural King, Lowe’s and several other stores across the country, along with Amazon and eBay, between January 2019 and October 2023, for $44-$290. Anyone in possession of one of the recalled safes are advised to stop using the biometric feature immediately, the CPSC said, remove the batteries and just use the key if firearms are stored inside.
