Ademco 5140-MPS Pull Stations are we looking at anothe recall similar to Firelite BG-10

A few  year ago the Fire Lite BG10 Pull stations  where recalled


Due to the plunger which actuates when station is pulled freezing in place 

Well now after testing some Ademco / Honeywell 5140MPS stations I am getting same issues


 Did an apartment buildings fire alarm inspection today and both pull stations in the cold corridors  stuck and would not actuate. and the plunger switch being used is very similar to the BG-10 that was recalled  for repairs or replacement .



 The problem with Pull stations other than the occasional sometimes  yearly testing they sit  and are not activated allowing them to s=get stuck.


The newer Designed BG -12 made by Fire Lite is far superior because it uses a toggle switch which is much better design.

So now I have to notify Honeywell an CPSC to possible issues for a possible recall.
