Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating alarming reports of a serious safety defect in Stack-On biometric gun safes. According to a January 30, 2025 U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) stop-use warning, these safes may fail to function correctly, allowing unauthorized individuals, including children, to access the safe with any fingerprint. This critical defect has already led to serious injuries, highlighting the significant risks to gun owners and their families.
