This innovative device is designed to keep you and your loved ones safe by detecting both smoke and harmful carbon monoxide gas, which is odorless and colorless. With its advanced technology and user-friendly design, the FA142C is an excellent choice for ensuring peace of mind.

One of the standout features of the First Alert FA142C is its dual-sensor technology.
