⚠️ Not all smoke and carbon monoxide alarms sold online are certified — and The New York Times just exposed how easy it is for non-compliant products to look legit.
If you're shopping for safety, here's what matters most:
✅ Make sure the alarm is listed by UL or ETL to the applicable standard (UL 217 or UL 2034).
At Rely Safety, every alarm we make meets these standards — no shortcuts, no gimmicks. Just trusted, tested, easy-to-install protection.
We designed Rely RealAlerts™ to cut through the confusion:
