SAN ANTONIO – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning people to stop using HECOPRO digital display carbon monoxide detectors because they can fail to warn about the presence of the dangerous gas.
The CPSC issued the warning Thursday after detectors sold on Amazon failed tests with a CO concentration of 400 ppm, violating safety standards. At sustained levels above 150 to 200 ppm, disorientation, loss of consciousness and death are possible, according to the commission.
The detectors in the warning were sold on Amazon under ASIN B07T66J7KJ for a price between $9 and $13. They are made of white plastic and have a digital display.
The CPSC said consumers should not buy these particular detectors and throw them out if they have them.
Accidental carbon monoxide poisoning linked to products claims more than 150 lives in the U.S. annually.
Tesla is recalling nearly 1.1 million U.S. vehicles because the window automatic reversal system may not react correctly when detecting an obstruction, increasing the risk of injury such as pinched fingers.
The recall covers some 2017-2022 Model 3, 2020-2021 Model Y, and 2021-2022 Model S and Model X vehicles.
Tesla discovered the issue during testing in August. The EV manufacturer has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will perform an over-the-air software update of the power window system and vehicles produced Sept. 13 and later received the update.
