Thanks for the heads up. Will check this evening. Fortunately, I do not have a bad one in a Ferrari. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I bought a pair of 7-pounders from a Home Depot online sale about 2 years ago when we moved in. Just checked - they are Made in Mexico. The bad ones were made in Mebane, North Carolina (pronounced meh-bin). | |||

Mine were made in Mexico as well but the model number is on the list. Where did you read that only the US made ones were bad? ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

I probably have 10 extinguishers in various places. The one at my home is affected and I'm sure others will be as well. Thank you for the heads up! ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

 The recall goes back to 1973. How long ago did you buy them? ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you! | |||

All three of the ones in my house are affected. | |||

For those that can't figure out the date code (like me), the color, the model number and serial number were enough for the website to process my submission. The model number and serial number were written exceedingly small in the lower right-hand corner of the label. Thanks for the heads up, Black92LX. | |||

Thanks, I have 8 of them. They are supposed to be shipped to me in 15-20 days and they arrange return of the old ones. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Found it! Five model numbers in very tiny print, in the bottom left corner of the label. I'll hit their website and try again. Edit to add, got it done.  -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Took me forever to figure out which model number it wanted me to use. On a side note, do companies have insurance policies for stuff like this? Do they build recall costs into the price?? ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

Their "*" search didn't function too well for me, either. The first of five model numbers turned out to be the correct one on my bottle. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Black, Thank you. My white RESSP was involved. I too had problems with the date code. The bottom of the tank has a 12 on it and I know that I bought it in 2013. Entered it on the website and it responded that it was involved. So in process now. Hey, unrelated question, did the add a couple of weeks ago to the FB Sears kit home site work? -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

Might be a good time to remind everyone to take out their dry chemical extinguishers once a year and whack them with a rubber mallet. If they sit for years the contents can settle into a solid mass and become useless in the event of a fire. | |||

Entered our kitchen unit, we got in 1991 on the website, and got the reply that it was included in the recall. Thanks for the notice! Bill Gullette | |||

I need to get a rubber mallet, even though this is the only use I'd get out of it. As cheap as fire extinguishers are, a mallet has to be cheaper, and much better than fighting a fire with your bare hands!This message has been edited.

| Ignored facts still exist |
I have one --- from Amazon. Guess I'll get the free replacement. I hope I don't have a fire in the next 15 to 20 days . | |||
