Keep Your Family Safe from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning...It's Simple

The National Fire Protection Association suggests installing at least two detectors - near the most probable sources(s) and near the bedrooms.

Also, the battery only detectors have lots of false positives.  The plug-in units with a battery back up are recommended by the professionals.

Did you mean gas or kerosene appliances with or without adequate ventilation?

Thanks for the reminder. It is a California Law too.

Thanks for the reminder Debbie. Need to check our batteries and replace them.

This is an important share, I've known attorneys who have represented landlords who failed to install carbon monoxide detectors, and who had tenants lose their lives to carbon monoxide, very sad and very preventable!

Thank you for the post. I hope consumers will read it and buy  CO detectors.

CONGRATULATIONS on your feature. Such a great topic for this time of year. It is something every person should get for the safety of their family.  On another note a big BPO company has reduced what they are offering to pay, I did learn that i can request a fee increase and get it as long as no other agents are willing to work for such low pay. The company may soon learn like others they get what they pay for in the quality of their bpo's. Have a good day, I am working half day then off to teh world series tonight. 

Well deserved feature.  This is a great blog full of information every family should read.                                        

I was at a stop light the other day and had to breath in a car fume....Open air diluted this discarded gas. In a home, air is trapped and if it is bad air...that is what you are breathing...good post here

Great reminder for something so many people just forget about. And a great post with practical information.

Debbie, a great reminder to avoid tradegy. It's so awful when we hear of tradegy as when you state it's simple to take care of this.

Debbie, really important information you have given in this post. Simple steps can keep us all safer.

This is probably one of the most important posts that we will see. Taking the proper precautions to protect our families is a must. Thanks for sharing and reminding us how necessary this is.

I remember the horrible accident in Aspen that caused this to become law in Colorado.  Good informative post, thank you.

So I should tell my boyfriend to take the grill out of the kitchen? Kidding, I'd kill him if he did that.

It's so easy to get a carbon monoxide detector these days, I have to wonder why some people still don't have them.

CO detectors have saved my life I'm pretty sure.

 

Love and light,

Laura

Great time to remind. Thanks for sharing the valuable information.

In california they are now required and I need to see that they are installed when the home is sold.

Great post... we in my part of Texas do not have this issue. I do have a gas clothes dryer but gas has an order so it can be detected. So I guess we are okay here.

This is good advice for all families. I will re-blog this post today.

Great post Debbie! A detector is not a guarantee that you'll be safe, but it will alert you if there is an issue in your home. It is very important to be aware of the danger.
