everyone should be checking thier fire extingishers. they are recalling them in the ram trucks and in campers. i would say just about every one they made is bad.

They have expiration dates as well. Replaced mine with 2017 models last year.

I exchanged 4 of them & received replacements but got two that were wrong. I found this company to be frustrating to work with. They wanted too much info, like vin #s on camper & boat. Then after 30 minutes on phone, they repeated everything & had half of it wrong. May be simpler to just go to Lowes & buy new ones.

I'm with you there. I went to the store also but I think we all need to take a look at them. Ram is recalling them too.

Who is another reputable manufacturer other than Kiddie?
