I am assuming it has a 10 year battery

Take it back to the shop with a receipt and tell them it keeps going off.

It is only 3 years old and it was described as 10 year life when you bought it so you are covered by the Sale of Goods Act 1979. Basically goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality so it will last a reasonable length of time.

3 years is not reasonable for a 10 year smoke alarm, it is giving false alarms so is not fit for purpose.

Did you buy it or did the fire chaps fit it for you, have a read of this BBC News - Hampshire fire service's beeping smoke alarm complaints
