SAFETY ALERT: Fountain Inn Fire Department Relays Federal Recall on Critical Fire Safety Equipment

The Fountain Inn Fire Department, in coordination with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is issuing an urgent warning to local residents regarding two significant product recalls. Fire officials are highlighting the risks associated with certain Aroeve air purifiers and LShome smoke detectors, both of which pose severe fire and life-safety hazards.

Fire Marshal Warns of Overheating Air Purifiers

The Fountain Inn Fire Department is alerting the community that Airova / Aroeve brand air purifiers (Model MK04) have been recalled due to a serious risk of fire and burns. According to federal reports, these units can dangerously overheat and ignite during normal operation.

“We want our residents to be proactive in checking their small appliances,” fire officials stated. If you have an Aroeve purifier in your home, you are urged to stop using it immediately and unplug the device to prevent a potential structure fire.

Life-Safety Failure: LShome Smoke Detectors

In a particularly critical safety notice, the Fire Marshal’s office is drawing attention to the recall of LShome Photoelectric Smoke Detector Fire Alarms. These devices, sold primarily through Amazon, may fail to sound an alarm during a fire, rendering them useless in an emergency.

Because these detectors do not provide the necessary early warning to save lives, the Fountain Inn Fire Department stresses that any resident using this brand should replace them with a certified, functioning alarm immediately.

Action Steps for Fountain Inn Residents

The Fountain Inn Fire Department recommends the following immediate actions:

• Identify the Products: Check your air purifiers for the “Aroeve” brand name and your smoke detectors for the “LShome” label.

• Cease Operation: Unplug recalled air purifiers. If your primary smoke detector is an LShome model, do not leave your home unprotected—install a replacement alarm today.

• Contact Manufacturers: Use the official links below to secure your free replacement or refund.

“Your safety and the safety of your family come first,” reads the Fire Marshal’s notice. “A working smoke detector is the most important tool in your home, and a defective one provides a false sense of security.”
