Do this or your house will burn down

Uncle Sam is smarter than you.

And his laws make your life suck keep you safe.

Case in point:

You've gotta ditch removable batteries in smoke alarms.

Only 10-year sealed batteries will do.

For fun, we asked the retired hippie working the Lowes aisle about sealed batteries.

Good chance you'll buy new alarms.

* not legal advice *

OK, we lied...

This law makes sense.

Sure, it's a pain to swap alarms (and batteries).

But be honest, you weren't checking these anyway.

This new law makes you give the alarms some much needed love.

The law doesn't kick in until January 1, 2023.

For you overachievers, here's the law.
