More than 40 million fire extinguishers recalled after car fire death.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of more than 40 million Kidde disposable fire extinguishers Thursday, saying they may malfunction during an emergency.

The recall covers 134 models of Kidde plastic-handle fire extinguishers manufactured between 1973 and August 15, 2017, including models that were recalled in 2009 and 2015. It also includes eight push-button models manufactured between 1995 and September 22, 2017.
The extinguishers are sold online and at The Home Depot, Walmart, Sears and other stores.

They only malfunction if you have to use one to put out the fire that wants to consume your house.

Seems the handles (some) were made in China.

Many are in private elder care homes. They do get checked.

I do know NJ inspects home smoke alarms, like every 5 years or so.

My Toenail clippings? If you're not in Italy, as MOB Boss Soprano.
Eaten foods?
All items that were made and the manufacturers went out business, as they knew were defective for profits?
So to keep the money!

Did I win a prize?

I used to own the small one for my vehicle.

But not in a long time.

Guess I should get a new one just not this brand.
