Hi folks,

This following piece ran on our local news last month. All the recent CO poisoning stories in the news recently reminding me to post it here as a public service.

In summary, CO detectors degrade with age and have a maximum life of 5 - 7 years. This story prompted me to replace all of my detectors.
