Is the unit's expiration date marked on the outside package, or just the back of the unit itself?

Every co detector should be replaced 5 years from date of manufacture. No matter wat the warranty says.

The paper that came with it says it expires 10 years after the activation date

Kidde's warranty begins on the date of purchase. The ten-year life begins on the date the unit is first powered, so the "expiration date" will always be 10 years after you first plug it in.

I don't have the outside package so I can't answer the first part of your question. But the unit only has the date it was manufactured on back.

Check the box, the expiration date is located at the bottom of the box's lower flap. Hope this helps.

Agree with Michele. Mine is stamped with the mfg date, not expiration date.

I could not find a date on the box, but when I installed it, the date was set to the current date, and the expiration date was two years later.

Mine is marked on the box bottom. Looks like they give you about two years to use. If in doubt, call the company.

I don't know. The date's been rubbed off my container. As I recall, my last container lasted several months, and the date was far from the time I ran out. I usually check these things when I receive them, and don't recall being concerned about the date.

Remove the unit from the mount plate and you'll see a label on the back with (among other info) the manufacture date.

I hope it is an old picture as the date would make the units usefulness questionable in 4 months. When I revived mine it had a date about 5 years down the line. I can't verify the date as the unit is in service and screwed to the wall. E-mail the vendor and ask what the date is on the current units.

Yes, there is an expiration date. Mine was almost a year from date of purchase.

There is no expiration date listed on the container or in the use/storage directions.

Mine has a date stamped on the box for more than 2 years before expiration.

At the bottom of the can, there should be an expiration date imprinted to it. I just checked mine this morning. Hope this helps!

Sticker on the back of the container has an expiration date. The one I purchased has an 4/2015 date.

The expiration date must be clearly printed on the labels. On this product it is on the back side at the bottom right directly above the lot number.

It is written on the side of the plastic tube and is clearly marked "Expiration Date"

If you check the back side of the unit you will see a label which has various pieces of information including a manufactured date. I quite sure you'll find it is probably six or more years old. That being the case, the unit must be replaced. It's useful life has been reached. It is designed to be this way. New batteries will make no difference.
