All Kidde fire extinguishers with plastic handles and push-button Pindicator fire extinguishers manufactured between 1973 and last month are under recall.
The fire extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to discharge and can fail during a fire emergency. Another risk is the nozzle detaching with such force that it could pose a hazard.
The recall requires the device be replaced.
One death has been reported — in 2014, emergency responders in the U.S. were unable to get their extinguisher to work at the scene of a car fire following a crash.
Kidde Recalls Fire Extinguishers with Plastic Handles
quote:
Description:This recall involves two styles of Kidde fire extinguishers: plastic handle fire extinguishers and push-button Pindicator fire extinguishers.
Plastic handle fire extinguishers: 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. The extinguishers were sold in red, white and silver, and are either ABC- or BC-rated. The model number is printed on the fire extinguisher label. For units produced in 2007 and beyond, the date of manufacture is a 10-digit date code printed on the side of the cylinder, near the bottom. Digits five through nine represent the day and year of manufacture in DDDYY format. Date codes for recalled models manufactured from January 2, 2012 through August 15, 2017 are 00212 through 22717. For units produced before 2007, a date code is not printed on the fire extinguisher.
