Every home needs Etón's Blackout Buddy Carbon Monoxide Detector and Flashlight for when unexpected emergencies arrive. This convenient portable, battery-operated gadget contains a carbon monoxide detector with alarm, emergency light and LED flashlight. The Blackout Buddy CO monitors a home for carbon monoxide; when detected, this small but mighty device sounds an 85dB alarm and flashes a warning light to alert homeowners that levels of the harmful gas are too high. A rechargeable lithium battery ensures that the carbon monoxide detector keeps working even during a power outage. The light automatically turns on when the power goes out, and it will provide seven days of carbon monoxide detection off a full charge, ensuring families remain protected in the event of excess levels of CO gas when the electricity is out. It also boasts an LED nightlight and a foldable plug that allows the device to turn into a flashlight. The combination of life-saving features and innovative design are two of the reasons Etón has partnered with the American Red Cross on the creation of this Blackout Buddy. To keep it charged, simply plug it in. An essential addition to your emergency preparedness kit, it also makes a great night light for kids' rooms. Includes rechargeable batteries.
