Brookdale International Systems is recalling all EVAC-U8 and EVAC+ smoke hoods.

"Recent tests have confirmed that the emergency smoke hoods could fail to work properly, exposing the user to harmful carbon monoxide which could seriously compromise their ability to escape the fire threat. Therefore, these products SHOULD NOT BE USED. The company is not aware of incidents where a user of these products was exposed to harmful levels of carbon monoxide."
