Death Toll Rising Due to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from Portable Generators

The death toll from carbon monoxide (CO) associated with power generators has been steadily rising in recent years.  The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released a warning concerning this issue.

The CPSC found that "[A]t least 64 people died in 2005 from generator-related CO poisoning. Many of the deaths occurred after hurricanes, ice storms and blizzards. CPSC staff is aware through police, medical examiners and news reports of at least 32 CO deaths nationwide related to portable generators from October through December 2006."
