According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), “a 2023 study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found unintentional non-fire-related carbon monoxide poisoning between 2005 and 2018 to be annually responsible for approximately 101,847 emergency department visits, 14,365 hospitalizations, and at least 430 deaths.”
Your carbon monoxide detectors could be expired without you even realizing it.
CO detectors have a limited service life, and once they exceed the manufacturer’s rated lifespan, they may no longer provide reliable protection. An outdated detector may fail to respond properly in a dangerous situation.
Take a moment to check the manufacture date on your CO detectors and replace them when required according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and potentially deadly — make sure your protection is up to date.
