BRK Brands is voluntarily recalling about 600,000 First Alert fire extinguishers in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission because extinguishers can fail to discharge when the trigger is activated. Products in this recall are First Alert model FE1A10G with serial numbers beginning with RH, RK, RL, RP, RT, RU, or RW. The extinguishers are either red or white. Not included in the recall are First Alert fire extinguishers with an attached sticker stating “100% Quality Tested” regardless of the serial number. Those with recalled fire extinguishers should contact First Alert at (866) 669-2736 or visit the First Alert Web site at www.firstalert.com to receive a coupon for a new extinguisher.
