re: Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall +40M suspected

What is the acceptable failure rate? 40+ million units with less than 400 failures. Going back to 1973!!!

All considered that's not really a lot. I would expect it to be almost 1000x that number.

You expected 40 billion fire extenguishers were affected?

Thanks for the heads up. I have two on the list.

All we sold was ansul when I was in the fire protection industry. We never had any problems with extinguishers or hood equipment

I used to install Ansul systems in Chicago in the early 80s. Took me to a lot of cool places and I learned a lot about pipe fitting, and the life of a laborer. Motivated me to return to college, so I always appreciate that about those years.

But, man, I have stood on a lot of hot griddles on an asbestos blanket with my head in the hood, cleaning heads and changing fusible links! Usually a kitchen manager screaming at me to hurry up.
