🚨 A Message from Your Smoke Alarm 🚨

Hi friends! It's June 1st, and while you're enjoying summer and spending more time outdoors, I'm still standing guard indoors 24/7. 🏠

Take a moment today to press my TEST button and make sure I'm working properly. While you're at it, check the date on the back. If I'm 10 years old or older, it's time for a replacement.

Remember: Working smoke alarms save lives. ❤️
