An American company is recalling 37 million fire extinguishers in the U.S. and 2.7 million in Canada because they can get clogged or require excessive force to discharge and won't work in an emergency. Kidde Corporation, based in North Carolina., said Thursday it is recalling 134 different brands of fire extinguishers manufactured between Jan. 1, 1973, and Aug. 15, 2017. The recall includes models that were recalled two years ago. "I tell all my customers 'we do not touch or recharge the ones with the plastic part,'" he said. Sedarat says the recall should serve as a reminder to Canadians that are cutting corners with fire safety.
