Since there seems to be much confusion in this thread: The recall was issued today[1]. A CPSC recall is a legally-significant action taken on a product considered dangerous and defective. It requires a product to be pulled from the market in its current state, and details what action, if any, needs to be taken to make the product safe to market again. This resale prohibition applies even if you are a Nest smoke alarm owner and try to sell it used; you must get the firmware updated or you are in violation of federal law. That the recall can be addressed via an automatic update does not change the legal significance of the action. Edit: _delirium updated their post with the same info while I was posting. Not that it matters, because it seems like this thread has been flagged into oblivion already.
