I found some of my boats extinguishers where under recall and went through the possess and it was easy to do and i have new extinguishers on the way. (supposedly) will let folks know when/if they arrive.

So next time your near your boat/household extinguisher give them a check.

Regards Cyric.

I checked all mine, at home and on the boat. None were part of the recall...even the one's with plastic nozzles. With all the hype I was almost disappointedl

Of my 5, 3 were replaced. Simple and easy to do. Took the opportunity while thinking about extinguishers to purchase another 2, another for the boat and a second for my second floor which doesn't have an easy exit in the event of fire.
