A place to post product recalls. Recalls can be national or local, even just one store down the street. Nor are they limited to one country, if a product is declared unsafe by the government or the maker, share it here.
Title should reflect what's being recalled, body should say where and/or have a link to the announcement.

I know they're hurt and they are grieving, but the parents did not operate the safe according to instructions and did not provide adequate supervision of their child knowing there are loaded firearms in the house.
Under the law in some states, they would lose their guns all around because they didn't secure them properly.
I'm not pro-gun, but this is not justice.
The device defaults to unsafe. For a device designed to protect lives, that's incredibly irresponsible.
According to the recall:
Meaning the device is janky enough that at least 39 other people have also had the same problem.
Additionally
The article doesn't state that. It's possible that the parents followed the instructions or thought they followed the instructions, but the device failed to provide sufficient feedback that it was in kill-your-kids mode.
True, but you would expect that it would require saving at least one fingerprint for that feature to function, just look at a modern cell phone, you can't turn the function on unless you program it, the company is definitely at fault for not putting in a bare minimum of safety into it.
The parents should be in prison for failure secure their guns. They can sue the manufacturer from prison. If they win, they can use that argument for early release.
