Recalled Fire Extinguisher in Video

Question

First thank you for all you do. You helped me the last few months start working on my own cars and save thousands already...

I dont want to ask you publicly but I already asked on facebook private message and asked you on youtube to check the message on facebook... I know how many questions, messages and comments you get are too much to read.... Feel free to delete this after you handle it...

But...

Are you aware that in your sep 29, 2021 youtube video titled "Thank You and Farewell" you showed a recalled Kidde fire extinuisher? Here is what leads me to believe that yours has been recalled and where you can get a replacement: https://www.kidde.com/home-safety/en/us/support/product-alerts/recall-kidde-fire-extinguisher/ Thank you for you help through your youtube videos

The firm is aware of a 2014 death involving a car fire following a crash. Emergency responders could not get the recalled Kidde fire extinguishers to work. There have been approximately 391 reports of failed or limited activation or nozzle detachment, including the fatality, approximately 16 injuries, including smoke inhalation and minor burns, and approximately 91 reports of property damage.The replacement program was initiated because certain fire extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to activate, posing a risk of failure to discharge. In addition, the nozzle can detach with enough force to pose an impact hazard.
