What is this? These are fire extinguishers made by brands like VULCAIN and SICLI. They may not stay safe for their full 20-year life.
What's happening? If the top part was not locked tight during care, the extinguisher could shoot its head off when used. This can hurt the user or people nearby.
Does this affect me? If you own one of these brands in France, you could be at risk when you try to use it.
What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask your local fire-safety office or a trained technician what to do next.
