Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Fire-Lite models FCPS-24FS6 and FCPS-24FS8, and Notifier models FCPS-24S6 and FCPS-24S8 can have incomplete solder connections. The Notifier model ACPS-2406 can have an improper circuit response with low input voltage. Both of these conditions may result in a building alarm system not functioning properly.
