# CPSC Urges Replacement of Recalled Fire Sprinklers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in partnership with Tyco Fire Products LP, has issued an urgent call for inspection and replacement of recalled Central Sprinkler fire sprinkler heads manufactured between the mid-1970s and 2001. This action follows a fatal fire incident in 2025 linked to failure of unreplaced recalled sprinklers, underscoring ongoing fire safety risks in residential and commercial buildings nationwide. Procurement professionals and contractors specializing in fire protection systems have significant opportunities to support remediation and replacement efforts across diverse facilities.

- Contractors with expertise in fire protection systems can expect increased demand for inspection, removal, and installation services related to these recalled sprinklers.
- Procurement teams should coordinate with CPSC guidance and Tyco Fire Products LP to ensure sourcing of approved replacement components.
- This initiative may impact budgeting and scheduling for facility maintenance and safety upgrades across public and private sectors.
