How to Check Whether a Firearm Storage Device Has Been Recalled
Find the model and serial information for a firearm storage device and follow the official remedy if a recall applies.
Locate the model information on the storage device, paperwork or receipt. Use the exact model and any date or serial range from the official notice. Devices from one brand can have similar housings and different recall coverage.
Search official records
Use the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall database and the manufacturer’s support site. Compare the notice’s identifying information and photos with your own records. If it isn’t clear whether your device is affected, ask the manufacturer before continuing to rely on it.
Follow the remedy for your model
If a notice applies, use its instructions and contact the listed manufacturer or agency. Arrange secure alternate storage before taking an affected device out of service. The ATF safety guide for firearm owners explains how to limit unauthorized access. Keep firearms unloaded and secured, with ammunition locked separately.
Keep the paperwork for the replacement
Save the notice, confirmation of the remedy and the model details of the replacement. Review the new device’s instructions and make sure responsible adults know how the household will keep access restricted.
