I think you will be safe there, unless they catch fire ;)
They do tend to give you throat problems though,

No flame, so no danger, carbon monoxide is only produced by the burning of a carbon based fuel, such as coal, gas, wood, paper, petrol or diesel. So electricity can't produce it on it's own. Catalytic gas heaters are safer then the flame based ones as well as they use a catalyst that tends to remove the CO.
