The product, in the report: Battery-Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm
The consumer indicates that in order to activate the preinstalled battery of his carbon monoxide alarm he needs to remove a tab. When the consumer pulled the tab, an explosive noise was immediately emitted and the consumer went deaf on both of his ears. Two weeks later his hearing had not improved so he visited the Veterans Affairs, where testing came back showing that he had severe hearing loss on his left ear that needed hearing aid. The consumer was fitted with hearing aid on both ears as his right ear was also damaged but not as much as his left one.
The consumer contacted the Manufacturer and explained the situation; a representative e-mailed him apologizing for what happened but indicating that they have no idea how what happened could have occurred.
The consumer notes that there is no warning information on the alarm on on its instructions manual about a possible sound hazard.
The consumer plans on keeping his alarm for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.
