Alarm system with remote fire alarm capability. Those things are everywhere and if they don't work people could easily die.

Lights that turn off at night while someone is walking down stairs can result in death if that person is unfamiliar or disoriented enough to tumble.

That's clever. The threat of lighting was nicely illustrated on Christmas Vacation. Whole relationships ruined and stuff.
Im only having a few possibilities come to mind that are life-threatening. Most are just annoying or financial drain. If we add painful, maybe make an epileptic's screen on SmartTV blink fast like the attack on the web site. Turn off people's alarm clock enough they get fired and loose health insurance before major operation. Im really having to stretch it here.
