CPSC, Kidde Announce Recall of Industrial Fire Extinguishers

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The nylon valves on these extinguishers can separate from the steel cylinder during the 6-year recharge service or shortly afterwards, creating a safety hazard to fire extinguisher service personnel and consumers.

What to do

Fire Extinguisher Distributors and Service Organizations must immediately stop servicing all units covered under this Alert. Kidde has instituted a Fire Extinguisher Replacement Program ("Replacement Program") for all units covered by this Alert. If you are a Fire Extinguisher Distributor or Service Organization and you have not already received a copy of the Replacement Program, as outlined in Service Bulletin 007, please contact Kidde. Only professional Fire Extinguisher Distributors and Service Organizations should remove the affected units and the steps as outlined in the Replacement Program must be followed.
