- -->I once had a Kide
- --> fire extinguisher fail. I purchased it around the middle of
- -->1991 brand new from a department store (Sears or Wards...etc.) I don't
- -->remember the exact model of the extinguisher, but it was a class ABC with a
- -->plastic body and nozzel, about 1.5 feet tall and 4 or so inches in
- -->diameter.
-
-
- Sounds identical to the one I had.
-
- -->Nothing came out.
- -->Apparently, the gas which charges the extinguisher had all escaped.
- -->All of
- -->the extinguishing agent, however, was still inside.
- Same here but I didn't break off the nozzle Chris. -->I suggest you write to Ki
-
- dde with all of the specifics of the incident and
- -->the extinguisher and either 1) notify them for the purpose of informing
- -->them of a defect for their information or 2) notify them for the purpose of
- -->reimbursement or replacement.
-
- I have already done so and they've agreed to provide me with a refund when I
- ship the old one back to them.
-
- -->Who knows, the company might have to recall
- -->some of their extinguishers if there is an inherant problem in their
- -->pressure management.
- Sounds that way!
-
- 1Merry Christmas!
