What to know about carbon monoxide safety before booking an Airbnb
CBSN
The recent deaths of six Americans from carbon monoxide poisoning in two separate incidents is putting a spotlight on the risks of staying in a rental home or hotel that might not have the appropriate safety measures in place.
Three guests staying at an apartment in Mexico City booked through Airbnb are believed to have died by carbon monoxide poisoning last month, Bloomberg reported. And another group of American tourists in May died of the same cause at a Sandals Resort in the Bahamas.
A spokesperson for Sandals Resorts confirmed to CBS MoneyWatch that Sandals currently has carbon monoxide detectors in all rooms across its facilities.
