Academy Sports + Outdoors has recalled Redfield 12-gun and 18-gun fireproof safes. According to the company, the recall is due to a serious injury hazard and risk of death. While the language sounds alarming, the danger the company is referring to comes from a security deficiency, leaving your firearms at risk of unauthorized access.
On December 25, approximately 6100 safes among these two models were recalled because the mechanical internal locking plates were found prone to alignment failure, allowing unauthorized users to open the safes, generally placing others in danger if the firearms inside should find their way into the hands of a child or someone intent on criminal action.
