Kiddie fire extinguisher recall

[John Galt 1]

I haven't seen this topic here so just thought I'd make sure everybody is aware that most Kiddie made fire extinguishers with plastic handles have been recalled.     It seems that the plastic handle sometimes breaks.

If you have a recalled one they ship you one free.     You use that box and the enclosed return label to return the old extinguisher.     Fed-Ex will pick up the old extenguisher.

I had several that had been recalled including one that was over 10 years old.

I've still got 2 of the old ones at the house FedEx hasn't picked up yet. I need to call Kidde because I'm sure the labels aren't any good anymore and see if they can send a couple more.

I used my old one's to train the wife and kid
good thing I did, the wife had no idea how to use one. I put some gasoline in a steel bucket and set it on fire.
i called the wife and kid outside, threw extinguishes at them and yelled drill sgt style.

YOUR KITCHEN IS ON FIRE! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? DO SOMETHING, STOP STANDING THERE. ITS SPREADING
YOUR DOG IS FIRE! PUT IT OUT!

she tried to rip the handle off the extinguisher instead of pulling the pin

almost every recalled extinguisher broke and wouldn't spray at all

I had planned on using the old extinguishers for family practice but they wanted me to ship them back.

ship them empty

they placed my family at risk for decades, the least they can do is cover some training costs
