Massive Recall of Biometric Gun Safes Over Security Flaw

Over 120,000 safes that can be opened by unauthorized users, including children, have been recalled, sparking concerns over firearm safety.

Over 120,000 biometric gun safes have been recalled in the U.S. due to a security flaw that allows unauthorized access, including by children as young as six.
The recall involves safes from Bulldog Cases, Machir, MouTec, and Awesafe, some of which have been on the market since 2019.
No injuries or deaths have been reported, but the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has heightened scrutiny following a fatal incident last year involving a different brand's safe.
Customers are advised to stop using the biometric feature and use the key option until they receive a free repair kit or replacement.
The CPSC is investigating the cause of the flaw, while manufacturers emphasize the importance of properly programming the safes.
