NHTSA recall campaign
12E045000
What was wrong
Defect
Chem-Pak is recalling certain Shield Fire Protection aftermarket fire extinguishers, model numbers AGUARD and MC0003, manufactured in November 2011. The fire extinguishers may be used as aftermarket equipment in vehicles and were sold at Autozone and Alliance Parts Warehouse retail stores. The extinguishers may be over-pressurized and can rupture if dropped.
Risk
If dropped, the fire extinguishers may rupture causing a sudden release of the propellant and possibly causing personal injury.
Manufacturer remedy
Chem-Pak has notified retail stores and posted recall/replacement posters in the stores. Owners can find instructions on how to obtain a refund by going to http://www.recall25405.com or by calling Chem-Pak toll-free at 1-855-278-0173.
