Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall

[Briorick]

After I was finished filling out the recall information, they then stated that they would inform individuals how to dispose of the recalled ones. Will find out when replacement arrives.

I was thinking I would have a couple of new boat anchors. The only problem is I don't have a boat!!

I wonder how other RV owners are being informed/contacted for this recall, who don't frequent forums online, etc.?

Would Forest River (original purchaser) or the purchasing dealer be responsible for notification?

Neither Forest River or the Dealer would be responsible for notification, the end owner us would be responsible to register the product by sending in the owner card. After we left them the info the manufacturer would notify us the owner.

You're telling me,... every fire extinguisher I have (5 total), are affected by this recall!

I have five Kidde extinguishers, two in the house, one in the motorhome and two in the boat. The model numbers for the two in the house and two in the boat showed up on the recall notice and I completed the on-line claim form. Tomorrow I will call about the one in the motorhome which does not seem to appear on the model listing. They published a new number to call to register for the recall, rather than 800.880.6788 they suggest 855.271.0773

Did you check all three categories? I found my TT extinguishers in the "marine" category. The other two were in the plastic handle category.

My guess is they will tell us to discharge them and place in the garbage.

Thanks D.W. The two in my boat were in the Marine category and the house ones were in the plastic handle category. The trailer unit is a plastic handle unit manufactured on the 253rd day of 2013. It is an E10 (or E10H) model.

Edit: Just located it by selecting Canada as place of purchase. Go figure!

I hope not. They make a terrible mess.

I think not. Malfunctioning while discharging is why they are being recalled.

If you live where you can have an open fire in your yard, you can use your outdated extinguishers for you and your family to practice putting out a fire. I taught my kids how to use one when they were old enough. Hands on, real world experience. If there's a real emergency, they'll be better prepared.

Did you find the E10 on the recall list?
I also have an E10(E10H) and I could not find it on their web site. I called them and they said the E10 was not on the recall list. It looks just like my other 3(only E10 is larger) that are on the recall.

On the outside this seems like a good idea but- ONE REASON FOR THE RECALL IS THE NOZZLE CAN BLOW OFF WITH LETHAL FORCE.
This is in the fine print of the recall notice.
