Fire Extinguishers Dating Back To The 70s Recalled

A recall of fire extinguishers has been expanded.

Health Canada says 2.7-million Kidde and Garrison brand extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to operate and may fail during a fire.  The agency also warns that the nozzle may come off with sufficient force and pose a hazard.

The recall covers fire extinguishers with plastic handles and push-button "pindicators.''  Some recalled fire extinguishers date back more than 40 years.

Full details are on Health Canada's website.
