Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall

For our USA and Canadian friends: Kidde Home Safety Co. has recalled over 40 million home fire extinguishers sold between 1973 and September, 2017. With our paper hobby fire extinguishers are pretty important! I own three extinguishers, and the one from my boat is an affected model. If you have a Kidde, go to their website, Kidde Home Safety, and check your model. If you have one you can fill out a replacement request online and they promise to send one within 15-20 business days. Don't forget to check the units in your boats and campers.

Thanks. I've been in contact with them and I will be getting two replaced as they were on the list. I had to give them the model #, serial #, and the year of manufacture and both were on the list. I was told to hang on to my old ones and would recieve instructions as to what to do with them when the replacements arrive.

Apparently, that time is now.

Mine are in the green and fully charged. There is supposed to be something unreliable about the handle.
