Answer
I have worked with carbon monoxide detectors. And many times when they get 2 to 3 years old they will give a false positive. I recommend that you pick up a new carbon monoxide detector a see if it also says you have a problem.

Carbon monoxide detector question?
Q. When I was walking past my carbon monoxide detector, I accidently knocked it off the outlet. When I put it back in, it made a beep sound and the light was red. Is the carbon monoxide detector always red, or only red when it needs battery? It didn't beep anymore after that. I'm nervous - does this mean there is CO in my house because there was one beep and the light is red? Thanks!

Does it even take a battery? Because it's a plug-in, it may not even need a battery. Usually, when you plug these in, or when you insert a new battery into a battery-operated alarm, it does a test beep or 2 then stops. This is like a test run of the unit, and telling you its "on".
Usually, if CO is detected, it will keep beeping in alarm mode until you hit the reset button or disarm it. Here's an idea to test it.
Take it outside of the house where you know there would be zero CO in the air, and plug it into an outside outlet and see how it acts. If it does the same thing as its doing now, then i guess you're good to go.
Next time, save the instructions. If you're really nervous, just get a new one...
