Re: Kidde Plastic Handle Fire Extinguishers
Kidde Push-Button Pindicator Fire Extinguishers
As you may know by now, Walter Kidde Portable Equipment (hereafter “Kidde”) announced and began an aggressive media notification program to communicate that they are recalling over 40 million plastic handle and push-button pindicator fire extinguishers sold in the U.S. and Canada, some of which were used in the RV industry. More information can be obtained about the recall and how to inspect for the affected model fire extinguishers at www.kidde.com.
This is to notify you that if a recalled Kidde fire extinguisher is found in a recreational vehicle on your lot inventory, new or used, it must be replaced prior to the retail sale of that recreational vehicle.
