- IT'S THE LAW in California.
- Up to 40 California residents die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Approximately every nine minutes, a fire department in the U.S. responds to a residential carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
- Kidde, the leading manufacturer of residential CO alarms, fully supports "Residential Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act" passed by U.S. House of Representatives.
- Because you can't see, smell or taste carbon monoxide, a family must have confidence that its CO alarm will alert them when danger occurs.
- The safest known way to detect carbon monoxide is to install a working CO alarm.
- Kidde's CO alarms are rigorously tested to obtain third-party approval and meet UL 2034.
- CO Alarms are also required in the following states: NY, NJ, CT, VT, MA, MN, IL, RI, FL, UT, MD, GA, CO, WI, ME, MT, NC, NH, OR, PA, IA, WA, AK, WV, CA, ND, SC and MI.
Combo smoke/CO alarm is the MOST COST-EFFECTIVE way to fulfill the requirements
