It's probably claiming that ionization smoke alarms are "deadly" or something because they can be slow to pick up on some fires, not because they contain radioactive material. Which is more than a little hyperbolic and ridiculous.

My experience with photoelectric smoke alarms is that they produce constant false alarms with no smoke, airborne dust, condensation, or any other reason I can discern, in contrast to ionization smoke alarms which rarely do that. That might just be an atrocious design in the particular Kidde model I was initially stuck with (and I had to get two to be sure), but I can tell you that it trained the household to respond to alarms by *pulling the alarm off the wall*, and *with certainly* that's more likely to get someone killed.
