Kidde, in conjunction with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is announcing a voluntary recall to replace certain XL Fire Extinguisher units, because they may lose pressure faster than others due to an off-specification lubricant. This loss of pressure may result in the extinguisher failing to operate when activated. The affected units were manufactured in Mexico between October 2007 and April 2008. Kidde has no record of injuries due to the affected extinguishers.
All fire extinguishers have the potential to lose pressure, and the gauges on the affected units continue to function and will alert you to any pressure loss. Because Kidde is concerned with product quality, we are working voluntarily with the CPSC to replace those affected extinguishers whose gauges are in the red.
This website will help you determine if you have an extinguisher that is affected, and enable you to register for a replacement if your unit qualifies.
