Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall & Testing

I'm sure a lot of us have received the Kidde Safety Recall letter concerning fire extinguishers. The Kidde website gives all the information on the recall: ONLY KIDDE EXTINGUISHERS OF A CERTAIN MODEL ARE AFFECTED.

The letter made me go look at the extinguisher in my 2011 210RS. I have the First Alert Model KFE2S5 so I am not affected by the alert.

It wasn't a total waste of time, however. I found the users manual for my extinguisher. ( https://1hwaqv35k3or3y079muiil4q-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/m08-0037-009_kitchen5.pdf ) The routine check of the extinguisher is something I have not been doing. The GREEN button on top of the cap springs back when I press it indicating the pressure of the extinguisher is good. When I first pressed the button it felt like it wasn't going to go down at all. I persevered and the sticky button unstuck and... viola, I better understand the testing procedure.

I share this information because I am sure that I am not alone when it comes to the testing procedure. Be safe, test our extinguisher, and get a free new one if yours is on the list of those Kidde's on the recall.

I'll be making the trip out to my storage lot to check mine. Hopefully my 2006 will also have a First Alert as well.
