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?


Thanks in advance for your responses.



Nope,

Sounds like my old neighbour. He has carbon monoxide detectors all over

the house. House is all electric. Somehow industry convinced him he
needed
those....


And I'll bet those are UL2039 detectors. They won't alarm until the CO
levels are life threatening.
