An Easy and Fast Way to Make a Claim Related to the Kidde Recall

If you're the owner of a Kidde TruSense smoke detector, you may already be aware that the manufacturer has issued a recall on some of its products. And you may find yourself concerned: does this apply to me? What products does it cover? How do I make my claim?

No one wants to spend more time than necessary sorting out these types of details when safety is a top priority. After all, having a working smoke detector is a must in any household.

Luckily, now DoNotPay is there to help consumers quickly and easily sort out details related to recalls of all types and to claim whatever it is they're entitled to. Read on to learn more about the Kidde recall and how DoNotPay can assist.

How Do I Claim the Kidde Recall?

To make a claim related to the Kidde recall, you can contact the company in two ways:

By phone

You can call Kidde toll-free at 844-796-9972 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET on Saturday. Of course, calling at those hours may not always be convenient, what with work and family commitments you may be juggling.

Online

You can also make your claim at www.kiddetsalarmrecall.rsvpcomm.com or www.kidde.com.

To make your Kidde recall claim, you will need to have all of your product information handy, as well as photographic evidence of the Kidde smoke alarm for which you are attempting to make a claim for a replacement. However, navigating through the requirements can be tricky, and even one missing piece of information can keep your claim from being successful.

What Products Are Covered Under the Kidde Recall?

This recall involves Kidde TruSense Smoke Alarms and Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarms. The recall applies to Kidde Model Series 2040, 2050, 2060, and 2070 Smoke and Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide alarms.

Note that only alarms with the TruSense logo or "AMBER=FAULT" printed on the front of the alarm are covered by this recall. You can find the model number on the back of the alarm.

This recall covers the following model numbers:

  • 2040-DSR Smoke alarm
  • 2050-DS10 Smoke alarm
  • 2060-ASR Smoke alarm
  • 2070-VDSCR Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide
  • 2070-VASCR Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide
  • 2070-VDSR Smoke alarm
  • 2070-VASR Smoke alarm

Do I Immediately Get a Recall If I Report My Product?

The short answer is no. You can't expect to get a recall immediately upon reporting your smoke alarm. The company will need to determine that you actually own a covered model, and you will be expected to provide sufficient evidence of your ownership before receiving a replacement.

As we've explained above, evidence that you'll be expected to supply includes photos of one of the covered products. Once you 've submitted your claim and evidence, you'll need to wait to hear back from the company, and often getting in touch with them through any other means can be difficult. And should they end up denying your claim, you may feel that you're on your own and without any recourse.

This is why it's better to make your claim through DoNotPay. With DoNotPay, you have assistance and backup in getting your recall claim approved with the fewest possible questions asked.
