Call to stop using faulty killer gas alarm
A WARNING about the dangers of using a faulty "killer gas" alarm has been issued by Kent Trading Standards.
It says the Proteam carbon monoxide gas alarm cannot be relied on to detect the potentially fatal gas.
Some fail to detect carbon monoxide and sound the alarm before people are exposed to potentially dangerous levels of the gas.
advertisementCarbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, toxic gas which is produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels used in boilers, gas fires, water heaters and open fires.
The packaging for the alarm and travel adaptor set carries the British Standards Institution (BSI) Kitemark, but the product does not carry a Kitemark licence and has not been tested by BSI.
Trading Standards officers are advising anyone who has the alarm and the adaptor to stop using them immediately.
