More than 120,000 biometric gun safes sold by retailers nationwide are being recalled amid reports of unauthorized users opening them — including a six-year-old boy — posing a serious safety hazard and risk of death.

The U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission on Thursday announced four separate recalls of biometric safes, with the companies that imported the Chinese-manufactured safe collectively receiving 91 reports of the products being accessed by unpaired fingerprints.

The four recalls were issued by the companies Awesafe, BBRKIN, Bulldog Cases and Machir.

Consumers are also being told to contact the companies directly for instructions on how to disable their safe’s biometric features and receive a free replacement.

Model and serial numbers and additional information for each recall can be viewed on the CPSC website.

The commission’s recall announcements and the companies’ contact information are listed below.
