Walter Kidde Portable Equipment Inc. (“Kidde”) in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently announced a voluntary recall to replace certain Kidde black plastic Zytel® nylon valve disposable fire extinguishers. Kidde has sent copies to its retail customers with instructions to post a copy of the safety notice in stores that sold these extinguishers.
This replacement program was initiated because certain disposable fire extinguishers may not fully discharge when the lever is repeatedly pressed and released. The cause is an out-of-specification valve component.
This recall involves Kidde ABC and BC-rated fire extinguishers manufactured between July 23, 2013
and Oct. 15, 2014 and sold between August 2013 and November 2014.
More than 30 models are affected, and all inquiries should be directed to Kidde by calling 1-855-283-7991 or by visiting www.kidde.com to determine whether a certain extinguisher is affected.
