Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Would one of these suffice?

Or does it have to be a proper alarm?

A friend of mine just had a leak in her house and luckily she had an alarm, it's got me all paranoid now as I don't have one and wasn't told it was compulsory (which I find odd?)

I was told by my gas man that you would probably be dead before it changed colour so i got an alarm

I was told that by the time the carbon monoxide got to a high enough level for the indicator to detect it, you'd already be unconscious so they're pretty pointless.
Glad your friends ok

Oh.. Lol. Alarm it is then.

I'd been meaning to get one for ages - and finally picked one up in Asda the other day for £12.50.

It says to place near to sleeping area's in order to wake you up - but when I put batteries in and tested it the alarm was deafening!!!

So it's on the wall in the kitchen - and would definatley wake us all up if needed!!
