CPSC and FEMA Warning of Gasoline-Powered Generators


Chairman Hal Stratton on Generator and Charcoal Safety

Press Release # 03-073

Transcript


"Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas. You can't see it, taste it or smell it. Everyone should have a carbon monoxide detector in their home to detect this silent killer. Consumers should never bring their generators or charcoal grills indoors or into an attached garage. If they do, they risk carbon monoxide poisoning. Opening windows and doors also won't solve this problem. And even though you have a carbon monoxide alarm, you should still never bring a generator or charcoal grill indoors or into an attached garage."
