CPSC and GE Interlogix Announce Recall to Repair Security Control Panels
GE Interlogix, of Tualatin, Ore.
Hazard
The systems can fail to communicate with the central station that should receive the distress signal, which then would fail to alert the fire department, police department, or ambulance service. This poses a safety risk to consumers.

Sold at
Authorized dealers and distributors sold the security control panels nationwide, from November 1998 to March 2001, for between $40 and $260.
Affected count
Approximately 18,000
