Important Recall Notice
November 2, 2017
Dear Valued Customer:
Today, Kidde, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a
voluntary recall to replace certain Kidde fire extinguishers. To view the release, please visit www.kidde.com
and click on “Product Safety Recall Notice.”
As communicated to you in safety notices dated August 14, 2017 and October 5, 2017, Kidde has
determined that certain fire extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to activate, posing
a risk of failure to discharge. In addition, the nozzle can detach with enough force to pose an impact hazard.
As a result, the affected units are being recalled.
This recall involves two styles of Kidde fire extinguishers: certain plastic handle fire extinguishers and push-
button Pindicator fire extinguishers.
Plastic handle fire extinguishers: The recall involves 134 models of Kidde fire extinguishers manufactured
between January 1, 1973, and August 15, 2017, including some models that were previously recalled in
March 2009 and in February 2015. The extinguishers were sold in red, white and silver, and are either ABC-
or BC-rated. Models are as follows:

their replacements, where applicable. An RMA number with instructions on where to send affected units is
