Fire extinguisher recall . .

Fellow small boaters, alert.  Maybe some of you already know this, but a Kidde fire extinguisher may be come useless when eurgently needed.  Its plastic handle may break off when you try to activate it.  And maybe some other flaws.  If you have a Kidde extinguisher, note the year on its bottom and the printed S/Nr on its side and call 855-271-0773 during working hours and they will let you know if it is one that has been recalled.  If it is, they will send you a new one and a pre-paid shipping label for return of the faulty one.  They will properly dispose of the old one.  Here's a photo of mine.
