"Massive Recall: 120K Biometric Gun Safes Pose Serious Injury Risk"

The U.S. government is recalling over 120,000 biometric gun safes from brands like Bulldog Cases and Awesafe due to reports of unauthorized access, including by children as young as 6. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) cited 91 incidents of unauthorized users opening the safes, prompting the recall. Consumers are advised to stop using the biometric feature and contact the companies for a free repair kit or replacement. The CPSC is investigating the cause of the unauthorized access, while some manufacturers attribute the issue to safes being shipped in "demonstration mode" without proper programming. Gun safes fall under CPSC oversight, but guns themselves are exempt from federal consumer product regulation.
