Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Were You Seriously Injured Because of a Failure to Detect a Leak?
Carbon monoxide, or CO, is an odorless and colorless gas that can poison
and even kill people who inhale too much of it. It is produced any time
fuel is burned, including fuel found in furnaces, gas ranges, fireplaces,
grills, lanterns, stoves, engines, and more. Many facilities, including
hotels, hospitals, restaurants, etc. need to take extra care to ensure
that visitors remain safe throughout their stay. However, far too many
of these locations fail to properly install or maintain carbon monoxide
detectors, putting the health and safety of everyone at risk.

What Makes Carbon Monoxide Leaks So Dangerous?
When too much carbon monoxide fills the air, people who breathe it in can
suffer diminished oxygen supply to body tissues which desperately need
that oxygen. Carbon monoxide can harm or kill people who are perfectly
healthy. It can be especially dangerous for people who are intoxicated
or sleeping because it can take a while to fully recognize the symptoms
and take action to protect yourself. The warning signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning include:
- Unconsciousness
- Blurred vision
- Confusion
- Shortness of breath
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Weakness
- Dull headache
