      My Kidde smoke detector, model no. P04010ACS has gone off 19 times this month, 2 with a loud noise for ***** seconds and a voice that says "fire!" I have checked the area every time and there has never been any sign or smell of smoke or a noticable problem that would explain the alarm. It is very annoying and frightening, especially when it wakes me up night! They were installed in June 2024 by ***************** when my kitchen was renovated and appliances replaced. I am waiting for Brothers to heck them. Recently, I have become aware of multiple complaints about your products. A. tech at "Just Answer" told me that 175 out of 184 reviews rated the product 1 out of 5 and that it was "poorly designed." Needs to be fixed!

      Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We understand how disruptive and concerning repeated alarm activations can be, especially when they occur during the night.
      Please be assured that Just Answer is not affiliated with Kidde or its parent company. Any product reviews or ratings shared through that platform do not reflect Kiddes official service, design process, or product support.

      According to our records, you contacted Kidde Product Support on July 23, 2025, and spoke with a representative who provided guidance on properly cleaning the alarm units, as environmental buildup or debris can sometimes cause nuisance alarms. You were also advised that if the issue persists after cleaning, you should call us back so that we can assist further, including determining the initiating alarm and providing a replacement if necessary.

      At Kidde, customer ********************** and satisfaction are our top priorities. If you are still experiencing issues or would like a representative to follow up with you directly, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you further.

       I am rejecting this response because:
      I tried cleaning the smoke detector even though I did not believe that was the problem.  ***************** installed them.  If I can get them to replace them with a better model that will not have 20 false alarms for reasons unknown to me, I will let them do it.  If I can't get them to replace them I will ask Kidde to do so.  Apparently, false alarms happen frequently with Kidde products.

      I purchased 6 Kidde battery operated smoke alarms in April, 2019, from ********** in ******, **, after I purchased a new home in **. I purchased these alarms because the packaging stated they had a 10 year sealed battery and they communicated with each other. I thought I wouldn't have to worry about replacing them until 2028/2029. The problem is of the six alarms, three are no longer working...they constantly beep every couple seconds, hence, they no longer work properly. My home has three floors plus a basement so it is imperative they work together and communicate. At this time, the two on the first floor do not work so if there's a fire on the first floor it's not setting the alarms on the second or third floors. I've replaced the three non-working alarms with another brand of alarms but would like alarms that communicate with each other so I'm not caught in my bedroom on the second floor when there's a fire burning on the first floor.

      I purchased nine Kidde Model P4010ACS**-WF Smoke and ** Detectors on Amazon on 2/17/25. All were installed on a dedicated circuit. Soon after installation they began giving false alarms for smoke. From 6/4/25 to 7/16/25 alone, I received 21 different smoke alarms from 7 of the 9 units. (See included ***********.) One of them alarmed while it was not connected at all to our electrical system. On 7/15/25, I had a licensed electrician try troubleshoot the problem. He advised that there was no problem with my electrical system. He also checked the wiring for each unit. At 4:43 am the following day I received another false alarm. I have discussed this issue with Kidde four times, most recently on 7/16/25. They offered to replace the units. I advised that I do not want more versions of a product that already fails to meet reasonable expectations. I only want a refund of the $744.93 I paid for them and the $500 charge for the electrician.

      I bought this smoke detector model# 2OSA10 at ********** in *********** last year. I installed it, tested it and everything checked out fine. January of this year I had a false alarm that corrected itself. May of this year or last month I had another false alarm that I couldnt silence so I had to permanently disable it. Before that I took it down to a new environment hoping it would settle out but no luck. I wasnt able to remove the battery due to the type of smoke detector it is to try and reset it that way. Im not happy with this design and I wont buy another one. I would like a replacement but not this model. I sent an email to the company on June second havent heard anything back yet.

      Several combination fire/CO2 alarms were purchased in November 2024. Recently, one started going off, without any CO2 or smoke/fire present (confirmed by both the fire department and gas company). I called the company about it using their warranty phone number and was disconnected before reaching help. I also emailed the company twice with no response. I need to know if it is defective, and if it is, how to get a replacement under warranty.

      Alarm (Model 20SD10) will continue to go off for hours after smoke from cooking has cleared, will go off randomly in the night, and will outright fail around the 2 year **** despite their claim that the battery lasts for 10 years. I have had 3 all with a similar experience. These things arent cheap, and you cant even remove/replace the batteries so you just have to throw out the unit entirely which is incredibly wasteful. Ive even removed units from my living space because theyre so dysfunctional and disruptive, which is obviously a hazard. Its a matter of time before this carelessly (or exploitatively) designed product results in someone losing their life sheerly due to how annoying it is. I would love if they would issue a recall because I have no idea where theyre getting this 10 year claim from but its resulting in waste and consumer deception at the very least. Thank you!

      We acknowledge receipt of your recent Better Business Bureau complaint regarding one of our products, and we sincerely appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.

      On behalf of Kidde **************, please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience you experienced.

      The sensor in the Kidde Photoelectric series alarms is designed to detect fine particles such as smoke. However, it may also respond to other small particulatesincluding dust, dirt, debris, or even tiny insectsif they become trapped inside the unit. This can occasionally trigger a false alarm.
      If the issue occurs again, we recommend using a can of compressed air to gently blow around the sides of the alarm, which may help clear any obstructions and stop the alarm from sounding.

      Should this not resolve the issue, please contact Kidde Product Support at **************. Our representatives will be happy to assist you. As your unit is covered by a 10-year warranty, we would be glad to provide a warranty replacement if necessary.

      I, like many others, are very disappointed with Kidde smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. After purchasing a new home we installed $400 worth of these detectors, which claim to have 10-year battery life. Over the past two years, three of them have failed and all of them have had intermittent issues. Since we purchased the interconnected network type, we accepted Kidde's replacements that were sent when we notified them of the failures. All three of the replaced detectors had the same issues. We decided enough was enough and removed them.The most common problem is the interconnected network functionality. The units lose connectivity with other units a mere 20 feet away, and will beep once every 60 seconds until the issue is resolved. This commonly happened at night and has happened with every unit (9 total units) on and off again. That level of failure is unacceptable.Other units have had battery issues, which is incredible given the promised 10 year period (not even 3 years have elapsed since manufacture).I contacted Kidde about this and asked for a final refund. I was sent instructions about how to get a refund, which are attached as a screenshot. Shortly after this I received a call from a manager telling me that there had been a mistake and Kidde's policy is to issue no refunds. I was offered replacements for all six remaining units. I said absolutely not and that it was time to get outside entities involved.Please do not purchase these products. The ones I have attached are the units that failed for us. All nine units malfunctioned less than two years from manufacture date.Kidde, if you are reading this, I want my money back.

      March of 2024 purchased 3 Kidde 10 year sealed batter smoke/carbon monoxide combo to protect our home.March 2025 one unit began to beep and a voice said Smoke detection error. I could not find anything online to help with this error. There is nothing on the Kidde site about voice errors. I wrote to them, included the information requested and threw the unit out. I received an email back saying they needed more information from the back of the unit.April 2026 a second unit did the same thing. This time I sent a picture of the back of the unit and a video of the error and requested a refund for a clearly faulty design.I was told they would replace them with the same units and that they dont do refunds. I do not want more of these faulty units as I have no faith they will protect my home and family. Plus, I got a sealed unit to avoid random beeping in the middle of the night. Since that is not the case, a replacement does not solve these issues.This unit should be recalled and refunds offered to those of us who have suffered sleepless nights because of them.

      Regarding your request for a refund, our ****************** requires a valid receipt in order to process any reimbursement. Unfortunately, we are unable to base refunds on retail pricing found at ********** or other distribution channels, as those prices can vary by location, state, and ongoing promotions.

      As an alternative, we would be happy to offer you some complimentary products or provide a different model of alarms in place of a refund. Please let us know if you would like to explore this option, and we will be glad to assist you further.

      I do not have my receipt - I got them over a year ago at **********. I clearly purchased them as I am sending them back to you. ********** carries them for $58 each. It should never be this difficult to return a defective safety product. 

       

      SECOND EMAIL: ***** **** should have the full chain.

      It happened to a second fire alarm that we also purchased last year.

       

      It beeps 3 times and says smoke detector error.  I am attaching a picture of the bottom of the smoke detector and a video that captures the last of the error message. You can get the information you need from the picture.

       

      I got these alarms because I wanted 10 years of worry free non-battery-dying beeping and instead Ive had 2 fail with two months that are only a year old. 

       

      These are supposed to protect my home and Ive had to disable them. All other trouble shooting does not work. My dog is afraid to come in the house. I am very distressed.

       

      I would like a refund for the three of these I purchased because I need to replace them. Im not going to wait for the third one to screech at my family in the middle of the night.

       

      These need to be recalled.
