Fortress Safe is recalling about 61,000 biometric gun safes nationwide after the shooting death of a 12-year-old boy, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced.

The recalled safe poses a serious safety hazard and risk of death because the biometric reader on the lock can be opened by unauthorized users.
