Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall

All new RVs are equipped with one or more fire extinguishers. Kidde, a Canadian company, is a leading manufacturer of these.

I found that there is a recall of Kidde fire extinguishers of various models that have plastic handles that may fail during use.

I checked and found that my Kidde fire extinguisher (Elite 10 Home or E10) is not on the U.S. recall list, but it is on the Canadian recall list. The extinguisher came with the 2015 Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22R that I bought in February 2015. The extinguisher has a 2014 date code, within the Canadian recall.

Right now, I have been on hold with Kidde's recall hot line for over 18 minutes. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website gives Kidde's contact information as Kidde toll-free at 855-271-0773 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.kidde.com and click on Product Safety Recall for more information.

We'll see how this goes.
