"Air" tight stoves, risk of CO poisoning ?

    I have been doing some research on air tight stoves for a house with MHRV, and I have noticed what I think maybe a disturbing trend, that some retailers will try and sell you a regular stove with an external air kit. Surely this is not a huge risk ? If the house is serviced by MHRV and there is an air pressure difference can`t you can draw fumes into the room ? Are there regulations to cover this ? With the green building regs pushing better standards including MHRV are we not heading for disaster with chancers like this around ?

    Surely the house will be over pressured which would force the fumes out? I fail to see any instance where you would want the home underpressured which would cause the senairo you describe.

    One of my stoves is not strictly air tight so I am interested with what is discussed here.
