Are Californian City Councils (CCC), ABC7 and Home Depot aware that Kidde are named
as defendants in the Proposed Ionization Smoke Alarm Class Action Law Suit? (see below)
Do CCC know Kidde succeeded at blocking legislation mandating photoelectric smoke
alarms in Tennessee after Tennessee’s, News Channel 5 claimed manufacturers
were “more interested in making money than saving lives”?

Summary
Given both Albany & Palo Alto City Councils have formally acknowledged the serious limitations with ionization smoke alarms, could Bay Area Fire Departments consider:
-investigating all Bay Area fire deaths and injuries over the past ten years to see how many deaths may have been contributed to by the failure of ionization alarms to sound a timely warning, and disconnection due to incessant false alarming.
-requesting Kidde replace all ionization smoke alarms given away under their ‘Operation Save-A-Life’ marketing scheme with photoelectric smoke alarms? and
-assist the World Fire Safety Foundation in requesting Kidde disclose the level of smoke that their ionization smoke alarms activate under Australia’s flawed Smoke Alarm Standard? (manufacturers refuse to provide this information).

A Special Duty Of Care
Given the overwhelming scientific evidence against ionization smoke alarms, do Californian Fire Departments have a Special Duty of Care to stop promoting them, and warn residents of their known and deadly limitations and the safe alternatives?
