Fire Extinguisher Recall

Unread post by Hank »

Kidde has issued a recall for quite a few of their fire extinguishers. The recall was issued in Nov 2017, but was apparently done fairly quietly, as I just heard about it. Checked today and found the extinguisher in my Jeep was on the list.

Sorry if this is old news, but I hadn't heard of it before, so I'm assuming others may not have. It only takes a minute to check.

Here's a link to the recall - https://www.kidde.com/home-safety/en/us ... inguisher/

I had 2 of them in various locations in my house.
Got the recall and they sent me 2 new ones.
About a year later I got a recall for the "new" ones and they sent me 2 more replacements.
All at no charge.

None of mine are in the recall. All mine are either metal head, or curved plastic handles and horizontal pull pins...
