The one I have in my kitchen is a Kidde brand but it's not on the recall
list. It's a small extinguisher that hangs on the wall. I don't know
if it can be recharged/refilled or not. According to the gauge it's
still fully charged (bought in 2008).

Naturally they are not going to recharge units not designed to be
recharged.

Bring it to your local fire department, they will check it and let you
know if it's still good... it's ten years old and may have an
expiration date.

They may not have been defective 42 years ago. Some materials will
deteriorate over time, exposure to UV or other chemicals. After about
15 years they should be replaced or at least have a new backup available.

That they will do!

Good advice.

I know how old it is. I also know the fire department (which is right
off Dataw island on Polowana Road) won't recharge it. It's a $12 fire
extinguisher. They'd just tell me to buy a new one. Knock on formica,
I've never actually needed to use it.

I heard them saying it was the lever, plastic now, not metal. Don't
know what make mine is but only the hose is rubber as opposed to
metal.

I thing the warranty is 12 years. I'd toss anything 20 years old or at
least have a new one for backup. In addition to the kitchen, I have two
units expired from work because of age and OSHA regulations but could be
handy at home.

They used a soy based plastic that would decay after some years. Soy is
coming back to make plastics more environmental friendly.

If it has a rubber hose and zero squeezable handle --looks like it
would stand, upside-down-- and is made of brass, it's a soda/acid
extinguisher and is probably dry. If it has a squeezable metal
handle, a hose, and what looks like a bicycle tire filler stem near
the handle and works right-side-up, it's a jes a pressurized water
extinguisher. Either way, you should ask at a reputable antique
dealer and perhaps get some "real" money, as those are some seriously
collectible extinguishers. "Collectable" is about all they are good
for, as they are painfully obsolete.

Kidde's extinguishers are cheap junk (A,B,C dry agent), but they are
"cheap" affordable junk and will do the job ....if in working
condition!

Mine is a Garrison, all the bits on top are metal and it looks pretty
much like the one at the top right. Highly unlikely I will have a fire
but best prepared.
