The fire extinguishers may become clogged, preventing them from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and render the product inoperable. In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

KZRV will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016 extension 154 or 153, or Kidde customer service toll free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.
