Hi all,

A few years ago there was a consumer alert segment on a tv program (20/20,
or the like) regarding CO detectors.  What a wake-up call--they took a
selection of detectors from a large box outlet and had them independently
tested.  All of them failed in the sensitivity tests, and the conclusion was
that a person would be suffering from some CO poisoning before the alarm
would sound.  There was no clear labelling on any of the units that provided
the actual sensitivity rating, thus making comparison shopping impossible.
This was contrasted against smoke detectors which are required by gov't
regulation to sound before there is discernable smoke.  The moral--buyer
beware, but don't just rely on the CO detector for your safety.

Stay safe!
