Found this website via a Facebook post full of lies
I have been working in fire safety retail and product certification for nearly 10 years and have tested a wide range of carbon monoxide detectors from good brands like FireAngel, Kidde, and UltraFire as well as off-brand models from online marketplaces - a lot of the latter proving to be unsafe, as corroborated by Which? reports every few years. I know a thing or two about carbon monoxide alarms. Trust Sentinel is tripping a lot of red flags.
I found this website via a Facebook post telling the story of a fire fighter responding to a CO call out. The family supposedly had a 2024-manufactured FireAngel detector that plugs into the mains, something that brand has never sold, which had not sounded an alarm despite CO readings of 67ppm. The post explained that British Standard EN 50291-1 detectors don't alarm for 2 hours at that level, which is not quite true as they must alarm BEFORE 2 hours, and that the family were lucky to be alive. This is completely false, as international studies and ongoing research into CO acknowledge that levels between 50 and 100ppm cause flu-like symptoms after a few hours but, without underlying health conditions, is unlikely to be fatal even after many hours. The post emphasised that the Trust Sentinel alarms well before 50ppm, with a timeline on the website stating it will warn you from 10ppm. However, the product shown on their website is a MOES 3-in-1 model (S02-CO-UK-MS) that the manufacturer says does not alarm until over 50ppm.
The Trust Sentinel website also says their product will detect and alarm for natural gas and MOES do have models which has combined CO and NG detection but they have distinctly different display layouts than the model shown on the Trust Sentinel website. You can buy the alarms directly from MOES for half the price Trust Sentinel are charging, and there is also an all-caps underlined statement that the product is not available on Amazon or eBay but the MOES alarms are on Amazon for half the price of Trust Sentinel. Though, I do not know personally if these MOES alarms are actually compliant or safe; at least there is no mention of (BS) EN 50291-1 certification, which is a tad worrying.
Further, the Trust Sentinel website uses ChatGPT-generated images including a fake Kidde 7CO and the various policy pages have a range of missing links, placeholder notes left in from the Shopify template, and no UK / EU business address or VAT registration number.
There is very little about this operation that appears trustworthy.
