My carbon monoxide detector went off?

Kristen Le

About 3 hours ago while my mom was cooking our Carbon Monoxide Detector began to beep. We hurriedly opened the doors and got out of our apartment and went into the hallway and called 911. They came within in 2 minutes, literally. As my mom and I waited outside, they opened every window in our house and unplugged our oven and all of our gas usage. They asked us for our syptoms and me and my mom were getting tired, but that quickly went away and she was dizzy but it's gone now because she just needed to eat. The fire department told us our carbon monoxide levels went down already, but since I suffer from anxiety attacks we didn't go in. It's been three hours and now we're back in the apartment.

Are we safe? I'm still having shortness of breath because of my anxiety. Are we safe?
It's 9pm in NYC.

Answer
Yes, you should be fine. If you begin to feel tired while you're inside your home, than get out and call someone.

Toxic tea...Is it possible I bought a bad batch?

Mac S

So I'm brewing/steeping some Celestial Seasonings* tea the old fashioned way, on the stove. Plenty of steam and all that (smelled great) when my carbon monoxide/smoke detector goes crazy! Telling me, yeah, telling me (I bought a talking detector recently) to get out of the house! "leave the house immediately!" BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!! The thing is...the detector is more than 20 feet away from the kitchen in a completely different area of the house. And, as soon as the steam cleared, all was well. I swear I thought I was going batty! I've brewed tea 1000s of times and never been warned to leave the house! Bad batch???

BQ: Do I have a shot at winning a lawsuit for "mental anguish" from either the tea company or the detector company???

Plz and Thx for any thoughts and insights. Whew!
