Fire Extinguisher Recall

[dmfconsult]

This was posted on the V8Buick forum, and thought some of you might be affected.  I know I have at least 2 extinguishers on this list:

Earlier in November, a massive recall was announced involving 40 million Fire Extinguishers manufactured by Kidde.

The recall involves 134 models of Kidde fire extinguishers manufactured between January 1, 1973 and August 15, 2017, including models that were previously recalled in March 2009 and February 2015. Be advised that some of the recalled extinguishers were sold under names other than Kidde (ie Fuller Brush, Honeywell, Montgomery Ward, Sears and other names).

Here's a link with the Kidde Fire Extinguisher Product Safety Recall Information:

Be advised that the link above has the list of recalled extinguishers. It also lets you submit your request for a replacement extinguisher after you provide your name, address, the model extinguisher and serial number. It verifies that your extinguisher is being recalled and submits your request for a replacement.

If you do not want to submit your request on-line you can contact Kidde via telephone to find out if a fire extinguisher is included in the recall or to get a replacement:

Contact Kidde at (855) 271-0773 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST Monday-Friday (excluding holidays), or between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. during the weekend to determine whether your extinguishers are affected.

Thanks for the reminder in the Buick section.

 

As soon as the news came out, the topic was

also posted in the General Discussion section--

the first topic in the overall AACA forum.  In fact,

it's pinned there now:

Thanks John.  I don't go over to the AACA General Forum typically, but sorry for the duplication.  Definitely a good topic to be pinned!
