Where do you people get your information?
A buddy heater does not have a CO shutoff feature.
:h
It's called an "Oxygen depletion sensor" (more often "low oxygen shutoff"), and the whole Buddy series has it- as do all portable propane heaters labeled "approved for indoor use".
Here quoting from Mr. Heater/ Buddy page:

The Portable Buddy has a low-oxygen shutoff system and a tip over switch that makes it safe for indoor use.
And here quoting the Consumer Products Safety Commission's 2002 announcement detailing this then-new feature:

This summer, as friends, families, and outdoor enthusiasts head out to campsites, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is announcing that there is a new generation of portable heaters with a safety device that can prevent the tragic loss of life due to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. The new heaters are equipped with an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) and are safer to use when camping. If oxygen levels start to fall, this sensing technology automatically shuts down the heater before it can produce serious levels of CO.
Unlike earlier portable heaters that do not have an ODS and are intended for outdoor use only, the new ODS-equipped heaters are specifically designed for indoor use.
