Fire Extinguisher recall
Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) has reported that well-known fire extinguisher manufacturer, Kidde, in conjunction with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has announced a voluntary recall to replace certain Kidde fire extinguisher units. A faulty valve component can cause the disposable fire extinguishers not to fully discharge when the lever is repeatedly pressed and released during a fire emergency, posing a risk of injury. About 4.6 million extinguishers are affected that were sold nationwide between August 2013 and November 2014. More information go to http://www.boatus.com/pressroom/release.asp?id=1083#.VQ2kka10zIV
