This may have been it.

"GE Security Carbon Monoxide Alarms. *The problem is they fail to
detect carbon monoxide after one year of operation due to an internal
software error. And there's no "end of life" signal or other
indication that there's a problem.

Several security system companies sold these alarms from for about
$49. If you have one, contact the installer or service provider to
arrange for a replacement. Here's GE Security's phone number:
800-648-7422. "

"Well, it doesn't happen all the time, but when it happens, it happens constantly."

Your better off buying 2 different manufacturers units one in each
sleeping area or level.

At least one should be not just a alarm but a digital readout of
level, thats highly useful/

I too was involved in a incident got really sick.

The hot water tanks chimney flue cap cracked, water got in between
chimney structure and ceramic liner, it broke fell in clogged chimney.
