YOU CAN'T SEE IT, SMELL IT OR TASTE IT.... BUT IT'S THERE. APPLIANCES SUCH AS WATER HEATERS, FURNACES, STOVES CAN EMIT CARBON MONOXIDE. WHEN THESE APPLIANCES AREN'T INSTALLED, MAINTAINED, OR USED CORRECTLY, THEY CAN EMIT DANGEROUS LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE.
IF SYMPTOMS AREN'T RECOGNIZED QUICKLY ENOUGH.... CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CAN CAUSE FURTHER PROBLEMS, EVEN DEATH. ONE WAY TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY IS WITH A CARBON MONOXIDE DECTECTOR. AND PROPER PLACEMENT IS ESSENTIAL. IF YOU PLAN ON ONLY ONE.... THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION RECOMMENDS YOU INSTALL IT NEAR THE SLEEPING AREA, WHERE IT CAN WAKE YOU.
