I have at least 3 so far I have dug out. I have others stashed other places I cant look right now, but probably on the list.

Thanks for posting this. Looks like both of my extinguishers are included in the recall.

VERY easy to do.
They are sending me 5 new ones.
Have all your extinguishers with you when you call.
They will want model number, serial number and date code.
15-20 business days until the new ones arrive FedEx (ground I'm sure).
There will be disposal instructions for the old ones when the new one arrive.
They didn't know what the instructions entailed, but I am assuming take them to a haz mat site or local fire dept.

Got my first one a couple of days ago. Instructions are to return using the provided label and the hazmat box the new one comes in. Well, I read the instructions after tossing out the box. Waiting on 3 more.
