The people who made my smoke detectors did.  They come with an optional
security pin that locks them in place so you need a needle nose pliers to
take them down (for battery replacement, e.g.).

I find the scenario of a child young enough to eat plastic climbing a
ladder with a needle nose pliers in hand unlikely, to say the least.  It
is, of course, an adult responsibility to see that the smoke detectors are
disposed of safely.
