Thanks for posting.
but I'm tempted to call bs on the 2.7 million
plastic handled fire extinguishers in Canada ..
I've never seen a single one.
.. just folded aluminum on the little guys.
... if it's a batch of them in the 1980's - 1990's
they are in the landfill - long ago.

I've got 4 and I've never purchased a single one! OTOH, I live in

Just looked at mine, it's metal. I don't think I've ever seen a plastic one.

The one I bought this year has metal handles, but I do have an older one
(about 10 years old) with plastic handles and it is on the recall list.

They are starting to quibble on which ones they will replace. If you
got in early (months ago) the replacement was pretty much automatic.
Now they are saying they will not replace extingusihers with curved
plastic handles (and other lame excuses). I suspect they
underestimated how many were still out there and how many people would
apply. I have been waiting over a month with no word from Kidde

I also have one, plastic handle, and did not pay for it as it was a
safety prize. It is not on the list. I thought it should be but if I
haven't needed to use in 35 years and have another extinguisher so am
not worried.

In a past life I used to service fire extinguishers. I would not put my name
to this sort of ****.
