Prepared Hero Recalls Fire Spray Canisters Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Fire and Burn Hazards
- Description
- This recall involves the Hero Fire Spray Fire Canisters. The canisters are either red and blue or red and have the company's logo on them with the name HERO Fire Spray on the front panel of the spray. Each canister contains 20 fluid ounces. The circular canisters are about 2.6 inches in diameter and 11.4 inches tall and weigh about 1.8 pounds. There is a black plastic release tab on the top of the canister. The affected batch is clearly marked on the base of the canister with the numbers "09/2024" as the date code.
- Hazard
- The recalled fire spray canister can deteriorate overtime, causing it to rupture and fail to operate during a fire, posing the risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.
- Remedy
- Consumers should stop using the fire spray canisters immediately and visit www.preparedhero.com/pages/recall for instructions on how to receive a free replacement unit and how to properly dispose of the recalled fire spray canister according to local and state regulations. Consumers will be asked to place their fire spray canister in a box, label the box “RECALLED”, and bring it to a municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center to receive a free replacement. Note: Do not throw the recalled fire spray canister in the trash or the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins). Recalled fire spray canisters must be disposed of differently than other products, because they are pressurized. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled fire spray canister for disposal. Before taking your fire spray canister to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts pressurized canisters. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance. Remedy options: Replace.
