Videos tagged with Fortress Safe Recall

This video discusses widespread recalls affecting over 100,000 gun safes, primarily due to faulty biometric authentication systems. The speaker, a firearms professional, emphasizes that these are not true safes but lock boxes intended for denying incidental access, not criminal activity. He strongly advises against relying on electronic or biometric locks, recommending manual, mechanical lock boxes for reliable firearm storage.

This consumer alert from Langley Outdoors Academy addresses a critical recall affecting over 60,000 Fortress biometric pistol safes and related models from brands like Cabela's, Gander, BG, and Legend Range & Field. The recall stems from reports of the biometric feature failing, leaving safes in a default open mode and leading to unauthorized access, tragically including a child's death. The expert instructor emphasizes immediate action: stop using the biometric feature, remove batteries, and use the key. Consumers are directed to Fortress Safe's website for a recall form and free replacement. This highlights the paramount importance of firearm safety and product reliability for all gun owners.
