Read this story and decide for yourself if you want to order this Kidde Radon Testing Kit.
I bought this, read the instructions, followed the directions perfectly as to the test conditions, and mailed the product to the testing agency at the proper address. In the paperwork that I sent, I requested that the test report be mailed to me "Via US Mail."
I mailed the package EXPRESS MAIL, overnight delivery. I have a copy of the USPS **signed receipt, ** confirming delivery on September 9, 2008.
I tried their website, entering my zip code and the serial number of the test kit as their website asks. I made sure that my Pop-up Blocker was off, as their website suggests. Their website did not give me the test results. According to their website, I was a total stranger. There were no test results or even an admission that they had received my test kit. I repeated this process almost daily. No success.
I sent them an email about two weeks later. No answer.
Four weeks later, I sent a letter of complaint with copies of all my documents. I received an email reply and I also got a full letter with a full report. The letter also stated that they had already sent me a letter two weeks earlier. (I have a problem believing that, judging by their lack of response to my email. It was only when I sent that letter of complaint with all the supporting documents that I got an answer.)
As I said, decide for yourself if you want to get mixed up in a time-consuming and money-consuming project like that.
I ended up buying the Safety Siren Radon Detector from Amazon. It is working now.
Description of Kidde 442020 Radon Gas Detection Test Kit
Radon is an odorless, invisible, widespread radioactive gas which is a natural by-product of decaying uranium in the ground. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, radon is the second leading contributor to lung cancer. Outdoors, radon exists in low concentrations that are generally not a health concern. In enclosed spaces however, such a basements, radon can accumulate and may be cause for concern.This EPA Registered Kidde Radon Detector Kit makes it easy to test for radon. Included are instructions, an activated charcoal radon sampler bag, an information card, and a return mailer envelope. Place the radon sampler bag in an appropriate location for three days. Then mail the bag in the enclosed envelope to Alpha Energy Laboratories for testing. The lab will mail the test results back to you along with information about the findings. The price includes the lab testing and report. The cost of mailing the bag is not included, but will only require two postage stamps.Is colorless, tasteless, cancer-causing radon gas seeping into your home? Use the Kidde Radon Test Kit to find out for sure. Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas produced by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. If it's under your home, it can seep in and contaminate the air you breathe. Testing is the only way to know if you, your family, friends, tenants, or guests are safe. Inexpensive and easy to use, the Kidde Radon Kit includes an activated radon sampler tray and a return mailer envelope for professional lab analysis plus detailed instructions. Just hang the tray in the basement or crawl space for the specified amount of time and mail it in. The kit meets state and federal EPA requirements. And, the analysis included with this purchase, with no additional fees to pay (except for New Jersey residents where the state EPA charges an additional $10). --Brian D. Olson
