Risk and measures
- Risk or hazard
- The biometric gun safes pose a serious safety hazard and risk of death caused by a programming feature that can allow unauthorized access to the safes. Consumers can believe they have properly programmed the biometric feature when in fact the safe remains in the default to open mode . When in the default to open mode, unauthorized users, including children, can access the safe to remove hazardous contents, including firearms. As of October 20, 2023, Cabela’s Canada has received two reports of incidents and no reports of injuries in Canada. The manufacturer of the safe has received one report of a death and 37 reports of safes using the same biometric hardware being accessed in the United States by unpaired fingerprints.
