"First Alert" functions as a detector of harmful, potentially poisonous gas in enclosed areas, like your home. The product was produced because, unlike some noxious gases, carbon monoxide gives humans little indication of its presence. Victims who are conscious and in the presence of carbon monoxide may have a serious headache or feel nausea but, because carbon monoxide has no accompanying recognizable odor, people would likely attribute their physical symptoms to other causes. When people are asleep there is literally no warning given of the presence of carbon monoxide , just death. Modern technology has made it possible for "First Alert" to be placed in your home as a continuous monitor of unwanted carbon monoxide gas. A "First Alert" monitoring device can be plugged in discreetly in your bedroom or other areas of your home. The device itself is only the size of your hand and fits flush to the wall. For a very reasonable price you can plug in "First Alert" and forget about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.

With all the many "fun" gadgets that are on the market today, we went for some time without even considering "First Alert". Then one night, we were listening to the news as we got ready to go to bed. There in living color was the picture of a home, not unlike ours and insert of people's faces, just normal everyday folks, who had lost their lives in that home . The villain in this scenario was not a drunk driver or a drug overdose. People's lives were not lost to domestic violence or unwanted intrusion. Innocent , unsuspecting people had gone to bed with plans for the next day and never returned to consciousness, dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. It's hard to have a good night's sleep after that report. We cracked our windows, said our prayers and made a plan to get a "First Alert" device the following day. It was one resolution we carried through on. We couldn't wait to make our purchase and make "First Alert" part of our home .
