No word yet on injuries or cause of the fire. LOS ANGELES - Kidde, a smoke alarm manufacturer, is recalling as many as 226,000 smoke and carbon monoxide alarms following an alert from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) which said the detectors could fail to alert consumers of imminent fire threats. These alarms can range in price from $10 and $70. They are normally sold at stores such as Walmart, Home Depot, Menards and other department and hardware stores. Customers could have also purchased them on Amazon, according to Kidde.
