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.

Illinois-based Fortress Safe recalled 61,000 gun safes after 39 reports that a flaw in the safes’ biometric feature made it seem like they were locked for unauthorized users, but actually remained in “default to open” mode.

Safety devices must default to safe (pun not intended). The fingerprint lock should only open the safe with a registered finger.

The designers of that thing screwed up.
