The Pack Safe Appeal has persuaded WHSmith to stock the £25 portable alarms. The gadget is now available in 29 InMotion stores – WHSmith’s airport electricals brand – across 14 airports, marking the first time portable CO alarms have been available in retail stores.
The move marks a major milestone in a campaign led by the family of 24-year-old Hudson Foley, who passed away from CO poisoning in August 2023 in a homestay in Ecuador.
