CPSC says BBRKIN and MouTec biometric firearm safes can open for unauthorized users, and its Thursday recall covers model QHXP029B, serial numbers SQC200034980 through SQC202319171, and about 9,100 units sold on Amazon. [1]

Owners should disable biometric access, remove the batteries, and use only the physical key while requesting a free repair kit, because removing power disables the access method named in the recall while preserving key access until the repair arrives. [1]

No incidents have been reported, which makes prompt action preventive rather than optional: a family can reduce the serious access risk before an unauthorized user opens the safe and before an injury creates the tragedy that a recall is meant to avert. [1]

Searches for gun-safe reactions found no verified X post about model QHXP029B, biometric access or the key-only remedy, while the primary notice gives households the stated serial interval, batteries out, key-only use and a repair-kit request without supporting any broader claim that every biometric safe is defective.

The serial interval is the boundary between service journalism and a generalized scare: owners can check one model and a finite run, follow the temporary mechanical remedy, and seek the unanswered details about how the kit works or what documentation it requires without inventing a child-access incident that CPSC has not reported.
