Hey gang,
Do yourselves a favor and research the CO Detector in your home.
Many are made in China. Some Mexico.
The problem is that many if not most of these are designed to sound an alarm at 70 PPM.
That’s too much. Check the chart below.
As you can see, 100 PPM at 2-3 hours is acceptable. But 70 PPM over several hours while sleeping can and will kill you.
And even at 70 PPM, some detectors may not sound for several minutes if not longer.
People have died because of this. Please don’t be the next statistic. Google American made.
