If you have a fire extinguisher with a plastic handle, check to make sure it's not part of this 2018 recall.

Double check to make sure that one isn't part of this 2018 fire extinguisher recall. A lot of extinguishers with plastic handles were recalled in the past. If it's not recalled, give a call to your local fire department. They might be able to recharge it for you! www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2018...

This recall involved 37.8 MILLION fire extinguishers. Not surprised there are still some out there. Check yours.

Have we impressed ourselves by being able to recognize a dangerous recalled product from eight years ago by sight? Yes. Yes, we have.

I just checked mine and wouldn't ya know it I've had a recalled extinguisher sitting around all this time! Thanks for the information, getting it replaced as soon as I can!

Sold over the course of 45 years, too. Amazing they even needed to recall fire extinguishers that old, as it means they might still be in use 45 years later.
