By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A smoke and carbon monoxide alarm is being recalled because it may fail to go off when there's a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.

There have been two reports of the Universal Security Instruments' two-in-one alarms not working, but no injuries have been reported, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The alarms were sold nationwide from June 2017 through December 2019.
