As families prepare for the winter months ahead, Kidde wants to remind them of the importance of equipping their homes with working carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Winter is the peak season for CO poisonings, but with Kidde’s new Worry-Free Plug-In Carbon Monoxide alarms, safety can be made simple for homeowners. Kidde, a leading manufacturer of residential fire safety products, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (UTX).
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CO is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths, and claims more than 400 lives each year. In addition, more than 20,000 people visit the emergency room and more than 4,000 are hospitalized due to accidental CO poisoning annually. CO is produced anytime a fuel is burned and two-thirds of Americans use gas, wood, kerosene, or another fuel source to heat their homes – while only 50 percent have working CO alarms in their homes. The only way to detect CO is to have working alarms on every level of a home and in every bedroom.
“With winter quickly approaching, we want to make sure that families are protecting themselves from the dangers of carbon monoxide,” said Jon Hughes, director of product administration, Kidde. “CO alarms provide a critical alert for homeowners when CO is present. Kidde is committed to raising awareness about the importance of working alarms that could mean the difference between life and death.”
