In April, the Nest Protect was recalled due to some safety concerns. There was an issue with the device misinterpreting the user's gestures and possibly disabling an alarm when that was not supposed to happen. After recalling and fixing the issue, Nest Protect has returned to shelves. The feature, called Wave, has been disabled and consumers who are still uneasy about the news can receive a full refund through Nest.

Nest has even slashed the price to $99 to make it more accessible for consumers. Both Nest's online store and Google Play have the device in stock with the new price.
