CPSC Issues Winter Weather Safety Tips to Prevent Fires and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

03/10/2026

✈️ Spring travel tip you may not be thinking about: pack a portable carbon monoxide alarm.

Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that can come from fuel-burning appliances like furnaces, water heaters, or even nearby vehicles. When it builds up indoors, it causes serious illness and can become deadly quickly.

What most people don't know:
🏨 Many hotels or travel accommodations aren't required to have carbon monoxide alarms.

Whether you're staying in a hotel, Airbnb, cabin, or rental home, a portable CO alarm is an easy way to add an extra layer of protection while you sleep.

If you start feeling sick indoors - especially if multiple people feel sick at the same time - leave immediately and call 911.

Reminder:
You can’t stop the urge from showing up, but you can choose how to respond to it. Every time you delay or redirect the urge, you’re building new, stronger coping muscles.

📢Important IL WIC Formula Update 📢
Starting February 1, 2026, Illinois WIC will be transitioning from Enfamil products to Similac products.
By May 1, 2026 all Illinois WIC families will have transitioned to Similac products.
Here’s what you need to know:
✔️Any new set of benefits that begin on or after February 1 will include Similac products.
✔️If you currently have Enfamil benefits already loaded on your WIC card through January into February, those benefits will NOT change. The changes will be effective when your February benefits begin.
✔️A WIC staff member will discuss this transition with you at your next appointment.
✔️If your child receives a prescription formula, no changes will be made.
➡️This is a transition period, meaning the change will happen gradually as benefits renew—not all at once.
🙋‍♀️If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our WIC office at 618-392-3226.
