Kidde fire extinguisher recall.

Post by jleonard »

Almost 38 million Kidde fire extinguishers have been recalled. Manufactured from 1973 thru August 2017.
We probably all have units that will qualify for replacement.
I copied the link below from the trawler website. You can go online or by phone and get replacements sent to you. Some of the members of the trawler site have already done this. They say it takes about 20 minutes on the phone.
You'll need serial numbers (which means I have to wait until I get back up north to the boat in May).

Again.?
They had the same campaign 2-3 years ago.
They kept sending red instead of white FEs.
Finally got a total of 4 to replace my 2 white..

Requested replacement of two FE's under this recall and 1 1/2 weeks later ,I received them VIA FEDEX. That's pretty quick service! Ben
