back in the late 90s, my husband and i could have died of Carbon Monoxide poisoning... Christmas morning... about 4:00 our Carbon Monoxide detector went off and woke us up... called the fire department... stayed in a hotel that morning... we bought our detector about 10 months before because i kept hearing the advertisements on the Rush Limbaugh show...
“Weird Al” Yankovic lost his mother and father a few years ago due to CO poisoning in their home.
About that same time, I bought a new CO detector and put it in my new house the day we moved in. A few hours later it went off.
I eventually called the fire dept. to see if they had a CO sniffer. They came over and we determined pretty quickly I had a defective detector.
What was the cause?
