I got lucky on the pickup. I had my boxes ready to go. I knew Fed-ex was bring the shocks for my Tundra. When they dropped those off I just gave the driver my labeled boxes.

It's great to see how many have signed up for the recall.

I try to tell every one I see about the recall.Not just camping ones.

We all have them in our homes as well.

You have to give credit to the Kidde company for following through with this safty issue.

Found my old one and entered all the information. Apparently mine isn't affected even though it failed to discharge when needed for a campfire in windy conditions. The response on the website is confusing.

Got our replacement today- same size as the old one. We packed up the old one in the box provided and my wife delivered it to the FedEx office near home sonce she was going right by there. Surprise- they said they couldn't accept hazardous packages and she would have to take it to the airport location. She asked what would happen if the driver had come to pick it up at our house and the fellow said that was no problem. Go figure. The airport is not far from us so she took it there. The counter person said they had seen quite a few of the fire extinguisher packages.

Many Fed-ex and UPS stores are not really Fed-ex and UPS. They are private post office stores that do business with them. That's what we have here.

 

I had to send a firearm back for a recall. The local store would take it to ship but wouldn't technically receive it from me. As in no receipt to prove I had dropped it off if something went wrong or disappeared. So I wouldn't leave it. In the same shopping center I saw the Fed-ex truck and flagged the driver down. The package was already labeled. The manufacturer has a contract with Fed-ex and had sent me labels. So I gave it to the driver and he scanned it in while I watched.

 

Sometimes calling for a home pickup is simplest.

With your new extinguisher, they supplied an instruction sheet for the return. Call FEDEX, request to speak to an agent, tell them it's hazardous, give them the tracking # on the return label, and they come pick it up at your door. Easy Peasy.
