OTTAWA – The Canadian government is expanding a recall of Kidde and Garrison brand fire extinguishers to cover some 2.7 million of the devices in Canada, including some that date back more than 40 years.
Health Canada says the fire extinguisher can become clogged or require excessive force to operate and may fail during a fire.
