GSM modules for home security control panels recalled

2GIG Technologies Inc. of Lehi, UT has announced the recall of about 40,000 of the GSM modules manufactured in China and used in its Go!Control-brand home security system control panels.

The company has reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) that the GSM radio modules used inside the control panel can overheat and combust, potentially exposing consumers to a fire or burn hazard. 2GIG Technologies says that is has received 22 reports of the modules overheating, including three reports of minor smoke, heat or fire damage to the wall where the control panel was mounted. However, there have been no reports of injuries.

The recalled GSM radio modules were sold between December 2010 and October 2011 to home security companies and security system equipment distributors for use in Go!Control panels, who then installed the modules as a component of home security systems.
