02 / Company & ownership

Behind the brand.

Kidde develops residential fire-safety products including smoke alarms, carbon-monoxide alarms, combination alarms, extinguishers and escape accessories. Buyers must match local code, alarm type, power source, interconnection, placement and end-of-life date. A CO alarm is not an explosive-gas detector unless the exact model says so; extinguishers must match the relevant fire class and size. Check model-specific recalls and keep an escape plan rather than relying on a single device.
