KIDDE Recalling 40 Million Fire Extinguishers

You'd think that a "Fire extinguisher company" would have it all figured out by now!!!

I'll have to check mine tonight. Thanks for the heads up!
 
Thanks for sharing. I clicked on your link, and it DID take me to the Kidde site. But then when I click on ANY of their links, I get a never ending, spinning circle. Nothing comes up.
 
Yes, a lot of these smaller extinguishers DO NOT have a date code as described at the site. Does not matter, just enter the Model Number and Serial Number, leave the Date Code blank. It will accept that much info. I've found a total of three affected extinguishers among all of mine.
I posted this info on every automotive site where I'm a member and it's not surprising how many guys have units that qualify for replacement.
This recall covers units from 1973-2017. 44 years, that's a LOT of extinguishers!
 
Update......
Got two 5 BC's in tonight. So 2 weeks on half of them. Waiting on another 5 BC and a 3A-40BC.
RMA stickers and instructions for Fed Ex pickup are included.
