The product, in the report: Made-in-China Zapals Carbon Monoxide Detector does not function reliably. Ref.: https://www.zapals.com/lcd-display-carbon-monoxide-detector-co-alarm.html?geoip_country=US&gclid=CjwKCAjw2s_MBRA5EiwAmWIac9U_IEQD7bUd05r3IAVA_v1p3aw8GkncxjzbPZsiSuf5OWILrpXJxRoCq04QAvD_BwE The Zapals Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector arrived about 2 weeks after the online order was submitted. A critical part required for its operation fell out of the box. This was a sign of shoddy manufacturing and lack of quality control. I figured out where the part belonged, a spring-like dual terminal used for making contact with two of the three batteries required for its operation. But when I put it back together the detector functioned intermittently. The spring contacts would not reliably stay in the place causing intermittent operability. I sent seven emails Zapals with photos describing the problem and asking for a replacement. Zapals refused to replace the faulty CO detector and asked instead for proof of the intermittent operation including a video of the malfunction as it occurred. Zapals knows well I cannot supply them a video of the intermittent operation, an effort way exceeding the cost $6.99 of their CO detector. As this product directly impacts safety-of-life I ask you to test this product’s reliability and safety of using this product for detecting deadly Carbon Monoxide before allowing Zapal.com to continue exporting this made-in-China product to the U.S.
