First; turn off, unplug, air out the space, and possibly uninstall the appliance.

If there was carbon monoxide spewed into the air, and someone got hurt, a tort action may be called for. If no one got injured, then the case may nto be worth bring to court. Or at least few attorney swoudl be willign to bring such a case on a contingent fee basis. You woudl hae to pay an attorney hourly to birng an action if there are few provable injuriies.

If yu beleive improper installation made carbon monoxide poisong more likely, then one shoudl reprot it to whoever installed the applaince, the conmpany that contracted with them. the company that sold the appliance and the companies that made or designed the applaince. This may prevent a future occurrence worse than yours.

Good luck
