NIGHTHAWK 2000
Saves lives!
Carbon monoxide could be in your home and without a detection device you wouldn't even know it until you've already been poisoned. That's because carbon monoxide is undetectable to human senses - invisible, odorless, tasteless and non-irritating. Low level carbon monoxide can cause chronic flu-like symptoms including headaches, nausea, fatigue, dizziness and confusion. Higher levels can cause brain damage, coma and death. By the time most people realize something's wrong, they are helpless and quickly lose consciousness, understanding the effect of CO exposure.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen to anyone, anytime, almost anywhere. While anyone is susceptible, experts agree that unborn babies, small children, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are especially vulnerable to carbon monoxide and are at the greatest risk for death or serious injuries.
Hundreds of people die each year, and thousands more require medical treatment, because of carbon monoxide poisoning in their home. Now, with recent technological breakthroughs, you can avoid becoming one of these statistics simply by installing a carbon monoxide detector in your home. The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that each level of your home should be equipped with a carbon monoxide detector. According to the CPSC Chairman, "Carbon monoxide detectors are as important to home safety as smoke detectors."
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends only detectors that meet Underwriters Laboratory Standard 2034, such as the Nighthawk's CO detectors. You'll know the detector meets rigorous standards of performance, safety and accuracy when you see the UL seal on the product. There are two Nighthawk CO Detector models being offered. Two of the outstanding features with the Nighthawk products are the product reliability and high quality. In addition, it is affordably low price . These were the findings discovered by the lengthy studies and testings, conducted by a consumer products evaluations group, which reported in its magazine that the Nighthawk 2000 the #1 CO Detector and "A Best Buy".
Consumer products evaluation groups tested the CO Detectors in the market. It rated Nighthawk's CO detector, on top (#1) of the list and in the excellent category. (see bottom of this page for comparison chart)
