February:

New CO Detector Law

On Feb. 22nd, a new law - also known as “Amanda’s Law a law will go into effect requiring carbon monoxide alarms be installed and functioning in homes throughout the state.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that can emit from a heating source that is not properly vented. This could include a gas or wood stove, a gas water heater, a gas or oil-burning furnace, generators and fireplaces. Symptoms from carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness and nausea and can turn deadly within minutes.

This means new homes built after Jan. 1, 2008 will need to have a carbon monoxide alarm hard-wired into their electrical unit. Battery-powered alarms will be allowed in homes built before then. Previously, all new buildings built or bought after July 30, 2002 required carbon monoxide alarms.

Amanda’s law is named after Amanda Hansen, a 16-year-old West Seneca, NY girl who died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a defective boiler while sleeping over at a friend’s house last January.

Gov. David Paterson said on his Web site that “Amanda’s Law will prevent future tragedies like the one that took Amanda Hansen’s life far too soon. This legislation will create safer homes for New Yorkers, and I encourage all New Yorkers to check install these devices and regularly check to make sure they are working.”
