Home Safety Tips (1007-000000)
You can't feel it, smell it or taste it. You can't even see it. 
Yet it's the leading cause of accidental poisoning in America. 
Carbon monoxide is a by-product of combustion produced by cars, stoves,
 fireplaces, and water heaters and can cause sudden illness or death. 
But 60 percent of America's homes have no way of detecting it. 
You can help protect your home against carbon monoxide poisoning by
 installing a carbon monoxide alarm. 
Learn more about carbon monoxide safety at www.homesafetychallenge.com .
