- I received one also. The only smoke detector that's attached
- to my house wiring is one of the square versions. The recall
- was for a couple of round versions (different serial numbers).
-
- I've also got the battery-powered versions (I feel safer with
- those since we have power fluctuations and I don't want to
- depend on whether the power is out or not).
-
- The recall seems legitimate.
