  3. No one hurt

    Made Aug 6, 2024, sent to the company Aug 9, 2024, published by CPSC Aug 30, 2024

    The product, in the report: SimpliSafe Entry Sensory - this contains CR-2032 Lithium 3V battery FCC ID: U9K-ES3001 IC:20992-ES3

    My home uses a SimpliSafe home security system. The intention of this is improved safety. This evening, one of their entry sensors became displaced from a window in my toddler’s bedroom, just by me gently knocking into it while pulling down the window’s shade. The sensor came apart (though the pieces did not break, the device’s components just separated), and within it was a lithium ion “button battery” which came out and fell to the floor with the sensor and separated from it easily. My husband, who installed these devices, could not initially locate the button battery and asked for my help in finding it on the floor of my child’s bedroom given the dangers we know it can cause if ingested. We located the battery, and given how easily it became dislodged from the sensor, I promptly removed them from the room. I have contacted the Simplisafe company to give them feedback on this. This product is not in line with the CPSC laws and requirements for button battery containing devices. Luckily no harm came to anyone but if the battery was ingested by a child, damage could have been serious and deadly. I am a pediatrician myself (in addition to being a mother), and know the severity of button battery damage and risks of ingestion. Recently, Reese’s Law was put into place by the CPSC to avoid such injuries.

    The product, in the report: Simply Safe Security System

    From: [REDACTED] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2019 5:21 PM To: Clearinghouse <Clearinghouse@cpsc.gov> Subject: Simply Safe Security System This product is supposed to adhere to the wall with double sided tape. The motion detectors go in corners of the room. The actual control panel also sticks to the wall. We have had each part fall off and almost hit toddlers on the head. I myself was almost hit whole sitting on the couch. The parts while small are heavy enough to injure someone’s head or eye. The control panel is as big as a cell phone and just as heavy. It could knock someone out, like a child, or pet. Please investigate because all the company tells me it that they will send me better tape! This is a product safety defect!
