Neat:
"These smoke hoods are one-time use respiratory devices ...Consumers should stop using the smoke hood devices immediately and contact Brookdale for a prorated refund. "
A prorated refund on a one-time only device?

So let me get this straight - had you used one, you may have died of CO poisoning, but because you didn't, you only get some of your money back ?
I do love differences in consumer law in differing countries.

Yeah - the same thing struck me when I saw the refund was prorated. It seems to me that buyers paid for a device that is 100% effective until its expiration date, so if it hasn't expired, they should get 100% of their money back.
Of course, the company is just trying to mitigate the disaster. You can't really blame them. But imagine what it would have cost them if a family of five had used the hoods and succumbed to CO poisoning!
Does anyone else wonder how a product whose primary function is escape from fire wasn't engineered to filter CO? Someone's resume is gonna have a big Oshit on it!
