I have had this detector in my apartment, in the package for about 3 or 4 years. Yesterday, I finally opened it, thanks to the building owner threatening to come into every apartment and check to see if we had detectors. Without one there will be a 50 dollar fine. In the package there was already a battery. It said it expired in 2004, but the detector was bought after that so I tried it anyway. It beeped saying low battery, so I took it out and bought a new one. It worked fine up until 9 tonight. Suddenly it was saying low battery again, so I took that one out and plugged it into the wall. It continued beeping and saying low battery. Should I just buy a new one or is there something I can do about this?
Fire extinguishers handy. Smoke and heat alarms. Flame retardant materials. Evacuation plan. Talk fire and other safety monthly.
In 49 of the 50 American states, yes, you can be fired for no reason at all. You can file a lawsuit, but you probably won't win it. Edit: If your response to people who try to help you is You suck, then you are unlikely to last for very long in any job that requires personal interactions. And I'm not a lawyer. There are only a very few people on Y!A who actually are lawyers. And all of the real lawyers will tell you the same thing, that it's legal to fire a worker for no reason in 49 out of 50 states, and that you probably won't win a lawsuit. See, the thing is, if you ask a question, you don't always get the answer that you likebut the answer might be correct even if you don't like it.
