Starting today, all California single-family homes are required to install a carbon monoxide (CO) detector, or face a $200 fine
CO poisoning is the leading cause of accidental poisoning in the US. CO is a colorless, odorless gas that one cannot detect without an alarm. The California Air Resources Board cites 40 avoidable deaths annually from unintentional CO poisoning. A statewide survey* reveals a majority of California homes are dangerously under-protected: nearly 9 in 10 CA households are not in compliance with the national recommendation by the National Fire Protection Association which is at least one alarm on each level of a home and one in or near every sleeping area. First Alert CO units are available at local & national retailers.
