On Thursday, Feb. 22, the agency issued a series of recall alerts regarding four safes that are subject to the recall due to the faulty locks.
Products subject to the recall:
MouTec brand Biometric Firearm Safes
Machir Biometric Personal Safes
Bulldog Biometric Firearm Safes
According to CPSC, the biometric locks on the safes can fail and be opened, "posing a serious injury hazard and risk of death."
There have been dozens of instances reported involving people getting their hands on weapons, including an incident with a 6-year-old child, though no injuries have been reported.
The safes were sold online and nationwide at certain big box retailers, including Walmart.
Consumers have been advised to stop using the recalled safes as a precaution, and most can be returned or replaced for free.
