Yes I do, and while I felt sad, the law requiring them is a scam.
Just like the helmet laws pushed by businesses who sold a product no one wanted.
So they got politicians to push the laws and now those losers are billionaires for conning American politicians into forcing a product to be sold because 5,000 people a year died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
It’s like forcing a business to put warning labels on a bucket, because 2 children fell in side and drowned.
In a country that has millions of babies being murdered legally, and some states allowing assisted suicide laws so children can inherit their parent money earlier, we are one screwed up country.
Politicians should never be passing they claim are needed so we can illuminate death by chance, when in reality they are schemes so their donors can sell products no one needs nor wants.
That is not the governments job, yet many grifters will continue to fool politicians in need of election funds to push for stupid laws that are only created so someone can get wealthy.
Laws requiring carbon monoxide detectors was just another scheme for politicians to get finances for reelection, and wealth for someone trying to sell something no one wants to buy!
You want one? make it or buy it, but do not force me to buy them, nor force contractors to install them in homes when 99% end up never working anyway. As you state no one ever replaces the batteries, and the ones that hard wired just increase the risk that an electrical fire will ignite due the the cheap ones contractors buy and install, just because regulations rule they have to.
Just looked it up. Apparently it’s by state. I got sent one for free by the gas company.
