Pennsylvania day care was not required to have carbon monoxide monitor as gas leak sends 2 dozen to hospitals

Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk told reporters Tuesday afternoon that he was under the impression that Happy Smiles Learning Center did not have carbon monoxide monitors, though the fire marshal was still investigating.
Tuerk said all those effected during the gas leak are in stable condition. In all, 28 children and four adults were rushed to four nearby hospitals Tuesday morning, according to WFMZ-TV.
