Popping this notice back up to the top. I read it when Phred first posted, then promptly forgot about it. This morning I saw something about it on another forum. Got up off my lazy butt and checked our household fire extinguishers. Found two of them are subject to the recall. The link below has a button which takes you to the official recall form. If you are affected, fill out the form and they will send you free replacements.
THANX PHRED!

Thank you for posting the recall. Just called and found that all three of mine are on the recall list. They are shipping me three new ones with instructions of how to dispose of the old ones.
Once again thanks for the post
