It has been alleged that tens of thousands of needless fire deaths have occurred over the past four decades.  Thankfully the fact that ionization smoke alarms are dangerously defective is finally beginning to be revealed.

Fire Fighters have not been told the truth

“It almost sounds like a joke that the popular type of smoke detector doesn’t detect smoke,

  but it’s no laughing matter to the people who die or suffer serious injuries every year because

  the relied on an ionization smoke detector.”

Courteney Stuart, Senior Editor, from ‘ALARMING - Most Smoke Detectors Don’t Detect Deadly Smoke’, Oct 2008
