Hi,

During this holiday season, as we light the wood in our fireplaces or use other fuel-burning appliances, let us not forget the risks of fumes and the build-up of carbon monoxide — the invisible, odorless, silent killer. The best way to guard against it is to set up carbon monoxide alarms, like the First Alert Carbon Monoxide Alarm in key locations inside the home.

Carbon monoxide can come from many sources in the home, and protecting yourself and your family from it is critical. The Carbon Monoxide Alarm is our primary line of defense against this toxic gas. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, high levels of carbon monoxide can kill a person in a matter of minutes. Any fuel-burning, combustion appliance (gas ovens, charcoal grills, etc.) that is not vented properly can produce carbon monoxide. Cars idling in the garage can also give off carbon dioxide from the exhaust system.

The First Alert Carbon Monoxide Alarm is easy to use. You just plug it into an electrical outlet and it’s immediately operational. Unlike battery-powered alarms, you can be sure the First Alert Carbon Monoxide Alarm will continue working (unless there’s a power outage). You don’t need to worry about battery replacements or the alarm not working because of batteries gone dead.

Carbon monoxide poisoning deaths happen more often than anybody would like. We can help prevent them by using carbon monoxide alarms. Let us ensure adequate protection in our homes this holiday season and all year through. Life has no reset button, think safety.

Safe living,
Yovette Mumford
