Default Are electric oil-filled radiator heaters a carbon monoxide risk?

I've been experiencing some symptoms of low level carbon monoxide
exposure. I have an 10 year old oil-filled radiator heater under my
computer desk. I sit at this desk eight hours a day. I've read that
electric oil-filled heaters aren't a carbon monoxide risk, but I wonder
if this is always true?



To generate carbon monoxide something has to burn. Unless the heater has
shorted out and caught on fire you are safe.

The heater will not make carbon monoxide.
