FBI access controversy

On August 30, 2023, Liberty Safe faced backlash over backdoor access provided to law enforcement agencies, including the FBI. The controversy arose when it was revealed that the company had granted access codes to the FBI upon receiving valid warrants to search the property of an Arkansas resident involved in the January 6 United States Capitol attack. In a statement released on the company's official social media accounts, Liberty Safe stated that they had no prior knowledge of the specifics of the investigations when providing the access codes. This incident sparked online backlash and threats of boycotts about Liberty Safe's ability and willingness to provide law enforcement backdoor access to their safes.
