<quote>Philip D. Prechtel, 63, of Hilton Head, S.C., died
and his wife Katherine and several others were hospitalized
after contractors placed the plastic canopy over the side of
the Best Western Allentown Inn & Suites to complete a stucco
job. But the canopy, the suit alleges, was enclosed over a
basement exhaust vent -- trapping the carbon monoxide
emitted from hot water heaters -- and the poisonous air was
pulled into the rooms by air handling units.</quote>
