I have a BIG problem with this recall.
Hazard: The heaters can emit high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), posing a risk of CO poisoning to consumers if used indoors.
What person in their RIGHT MIND uses a fuel-burning portable heater INDOORS???
I always thought Kerosene heaters and propane heaters were designed to be used either outdoors or in open places like warehouses that are frequently drafty anyway...
New York City, I believe, forbids the use of kerosene heaters indoors. I don't know if the same applies for propane.
Common sense would dictate yes since you also have the danger of CO poisoning if you heat your house with your gas oven and stove (lots of people here, including myself, have been forced to do this in buildings where the landlords refuse to provide heat - we always would keep the kitchen window opened a couple of inches in order to let the fumes escape).
Or at least burn it with the windows open just a bit.
