Quick fix: Change your smoke alarm batteries
Posted by safeBABY on April 18, 2008
The Consumer Product Safety Comission says 90 percent of U.S. households have smoke alarms installed, but, sadly, that 20 percent of them don’t have working alarms. That amounts to 1 million American households without functioning smoke detectors!
That’s why changing the batteries (and those in your CO2 devices) is today’s Quick Fix: a safe and wellness task that’s easily done. If you’re concerned about monitoring battery life, consider a long-life smoke alarm - the lithium batteries are said to last 10 years.
Quick fix. Ten years peace of mind.
