I don't think they do that story is just people jumping to conclusions. They can produce toxic fumes, but I don't know where carbon monoxide would come from.

They could burn some of the Material, but the Gases which get produced by this should not be enough to kill someone (else way more people would be dead i guess).
You are right. I think it would have to be malfunctioning. Don't think a properly working one would burn any thing. I had the feeling from some of the articles that people were under the impression a usual and properly working ones were dangerous because of carbon monoxide. The same risk is true of any electric device. It could burn slowly. Everyone should have a carbon monoxide detector and still vent things properly either way. :)
Yeah, that's right. Better safe than sorry :D
