ALCON,

Last weekend we set our clocks forward one hour for daylight saving time.
This weekend, you are encouraged to check the batteries in your smoke
alarms, if you haven't done so already. Fire safety professionals recommend
homeowners replace batteries in residential smoke alarms twice each year
during daylight saving time.

Smoke Alarm Facts & Figures

* 94 percent of homes in the U.S. have at least one smoke alarm/detector.

* 50 percent of home fire deaths occur in the six percent of homes that
lack smoke alarms.

* Homes with smoke alarms, whether or not the alarms are operational,
typically have a death rate that is 40 - 50 percent less than homes without
alarms.

* In three out of every 10 reported fires in homes equipped with smoke
alarms, the devices did not work.

* Households with non-working smoke alarms now outnumber those with no
smoke alarms.

* Most smoke alarms fail because of missing, dead, or disconnected
batteries.

Remember, almost every day a smoke alarm saves somebody's life.

Please see the attached brief for more information about smoke alarm safety.
