Carbon monoxide detectors have been available to consumers for many years. The stupidity of the woman was not having one installed in her home. Perhaps cities should require that all residents with attached garages have CO detectors installed in their homes. I remember when our fire department was giving out smoke alarms to residents. I wonder if the cost of CO alarms has come down to a low enough price for anyone even low income folks to afford? O_o

They are required now in many states, including here in NJ. You can't pass
the fire inspection for a CO without them.
Do you need a CO when a house is bought/sold ? We only need
them when a house is built or certain other circumstances
(like a major renovation). We last replaced our furnace
in about 2002, and we passed the various inspections from
the building department but I don't think they looked for
a carbon monoxide detector.
