The recall involves the Kidde NightHawk talking combo smoke/carbon monoxide alarm with model number KN-COSM-IB and manufacture dates between June 1, 2004 and Dec. 31, 2010.
According to the company, when the alarm reaches the end of its useful life, it issues an end of life chirp every thirty seconds.
