Thank you to blog sponsor, Kidde Worry-Free Smoke Alarms, for today’s public service announcement about the updated Smoke Alarm Law in California.
Updated California Smoke Alarm Law
If you haven’t updated your smoke alarm in a while, this post is for you. Since their introduction in the 1970s, the majority of smoke alarms have relied on 9-volt or AA batteries for power. Today, “long-life” smoke alarms that provide continuous protection for ten years are available to consumers, and national fire experts such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommend their use.
As of July 1, smoke and combination smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms powered by replaceable batteries are no longer available for sale in California, and you can only purchase long-life alarms. How great is that?
It’s certainly giving me and my family peace of mind. To help keep families safe, this new law requires that all battery-powered alarms approved for sale by the state fire marshal must be powered by a sealed, 10-year battery.
Here are some of the features of the Worry-free alarm that Kidde sent us:
