United KingdomCambridge Audio ceiling speaker fire hoods (models FH10 and FH20) are affected; they are fabric hoods installed behind in‑ceiling loudspeakers to reduce sound leakage and help resist passage of fire. They were recalled because the stitching is not fire resistant and may fail under developed fire conditions after approximately six minutes, which could allow fire and hot gases to spread; the hoods have been recalled from end users by Cambridge Audio and distributor Richer Sounds, and owners should visit the Richer Sounds or Cambridge Audio recall webpages for further information and to register for a replacement or voucher.

The hazard
The product presents a risk of fire as it may not perform as intended in limiting the spread of fire through a ceiling opening. It has been identified that the stitching used in the product is not fire resistant and may fail under developed fire conditions after approximately six minutes. Failure of the stitching could compromise the product’s ability to resist the passage of fire, allowing fire and hot gases to spread to adjacent areas and increasing the risk of injury to occupants in the event of a fire. The product has not been marketed as providing a specific fire resistance rating.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
What to do
The product has been recalled from end users by Cambridge Audio, the manufacturer, and Richer Sounds, the distributor.
