Kidde Recalls Fire Extinguishers with Plastic handles and Push-button handles

[nicka]

Got a recall notice in the mail. Seems that the plastic handles and push-button are impacted.  About 37.8 million (in addition, 2.7 million in Canada.  The recall involves 134 models of Kiddie fire extinguishers manufactured between January 1, 1973 and August 15, 2017.

That's a lot of fire extinguishers. 

I'll have to look at my several and see if they are that brand.

I called...Then received two new ones and promptly sent the old ones back...Then this week two more new ones came in the mail... ..I guess their processing isn't going as smoothy as they'd hoped...
