About 60,000 biometric gun safes are being recalled by Awesafe because the biometric feature can fail and allow access by an unauthorized user. There is a high risk of fatality and injury as a result, which is why you should remove the batteries and stop using the biometric lock immediately.
The safes were sold in black and have room for 2 pistols.
Were you hurt in a firearm accident because the biometric lock feature on a recalled gun safe wasn’t working properly? Did you lose a spouse or family member due to a malfunctioning biometric lock on an Awesafe Biometric Gun Safe? You may have grounds to sue the manufacturer and receive monetary damages, like medical expenses, funeral costs, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium.

Injuries caused by Defective Biometric Locks
There have been 71 incidents so far of the biometric feature failing on these gun safes, which is astounding when you think of the potential for death and severe injuries. All it takes is for a child or an intruder to gain entry in a gun safe, and before you know it, there is an incident that can devastate the lives of many people. This is the ultimate irony, considering that people purposely buy biometric safes for the added security. But these products are useless if there is a mechanical failure with the voice recognition, fingerprint, or eye scan feature.

Steps to Take in the Event of an Accident
Many of you are probably wondering about the steps you should take if there is an accident due to the biometric lock feature failing on a biometric gun safe by Awesafe. Here are the steps we recommend in order to build a strong case against the product maker:
- Get immediate help for severe or life-threatening injuries by calling 911.
- For less serious injuries, try to take photos to show the harm you sustained from the accident.
- Take photos of the accident scene and damage to your property, if any.
- Get treatment for your injuries as soon as possible to establish that they were a direct result of an accident caused by a faulty biometric gun safe.
- Report the accident to the manufacturer, making sure to say no if they offer you a replacement safe, refund, or any other remedy.
- Save anything that can be used as evidence, like medical records, proof of lost wages, and value of lost or damaged property.
- Reach out to a product accident injury lawyer at our office.
