What to do now
These are industrial/commercial classes of extinguishers, not sold on retailers’ shelves. Buyers of these classes of extinguishers should contact the company from whom they’ve purchased the product; contact their Chubb customer service representative if they have an account with Chubb, or contact the recall hotline. Testing, or a tested replacement extinguisher, will be provided. Commercial customers who have a Chubb extinguisher maintenance contract will have their extinguishers inspected, and, if needed, replaced, during their next scheduled maintenance if they do not respond to Chubb’s recall letters.
