BMW is recalling 1.4 million cars and SUVs in North America due to the risk they could catch fire. The company has filed two recalls with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They affect versions of the 3-series, 5-series, X5, X3 and Z3. The first recall, which spans more than 740,000 vehicles, covers a part of the engine that can short circuit and melt. This increases the chances of a fire, even when the vehicle isn’t in use. BMW, in its NHTSA filing, said it’s not aware of any related accidents or injuries. The second recall, which is for roughly 673,000 vehicles, deals with faulty wiring for the heating and air conditioning system. There’s a chance it can overheat, causing the electrical connectors to melt and increasing the risk of fire, even when the vehicle is unattended. BMW received four incident reports related to this issue, with three reports of injuries. In both cases, dealers will replace the necessary parts starting Dec. 18. Link to stories
Kidde recalls 37.8 million extinguishers for failure to operate and potential hazard of nozzle becoming a projectile. From the Consumer Product Safety Commission: “The fire extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to discharge and can fail to activate during a fire emergency. In addition, the nozzle can detach with enough force to pose an impact hazard.” https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2017/kidde-recalls-fire-extinguishers-with-plastic-handles-due-to-failure-to-discharge-and Rusoh has been alerting the general public to the inherent performance issues with stored pressure fire extinguishers.

Rusoh, Inc.’s new fire extinguisher, the Rusoh® Eliminator®, was officially unveiled at Lucas Oil Stadium Booth #9041 during FDIC International 2017. Rusoh, Inc.’s new fire extinguisher, the Rusoh® Eliminator®, was officially unveiled at Lucas Oil Stadium Booth #9041 during FDIC International. The product was invented by Randy Rousseau and his father. Rousseau is the owner of a second-generation fire extinguisher service business. While working in the field, he noted with concern that there were far too many extinguishers that were unlikely to work when needed or were themselves hazardous. He concluded that the industry was actually putting lives in danger, property at risk, and in the process, dislocating families and businesses. Rousseau and his father together resolved to invent a reliable fire extinguisher. They began by putting together a list of extinguisher issues. It turned out to be a very long list, which included the risks inherent with stored pressure cylinders: the integrity of the metal canister itself, faulty gauges, and concerns about third-party service industry abuses. They also noted major design flaws that make the traditional extinguishers awkward and inefficient to use emergency when panic is likely to set in. Here, Eliminator® inventor Randy Rousseau gives us a quick demonstration of the groundbreaking dry chemical fire extinguisher’s unique features: Well aware that their invention could end the family’s business, the father and son nevertheless persisted in their resolve to invent a brand new extinguisher that would address every one of the problems on the list. Ultimately, they came up with a revolutionary design concept that did eliminate the problems, including the need for and cost of third party servicing. They patented their invention, calling it by two names: “The Eliminator” and the “DIY Fire Extinguisher™” to highlight the fact that their extinguisher could be fully serviced and reloaded by a lay person. When asked to comment, Randy Rousseau, the inventor, stated, “My dad and I began our invention more than 16 years ago. It has been a very long 16 years, but in the end, the struggle has been worth every minute. The Rusoh® Eliminator® is the first major innovation in fire extinguisher technology in more than 60 years. It eliminates every issue in the industry of which we are aware. Not only will users enjoy savings through the elimination of third party servicing costs, but more importantly, our invention will save lives as well as protect property. Our family couldn’t be more pleased or proud.” More information on the product and the features that enable it to eliminate the innate problems of traditional extinguishers can be found at www.rusoh.com.

The product was invented by Randy Rousseau and his father. Rousseau is the owner of a second-generation fire extinguisher service business. While working in the field, he noted with concern that there were far too many extinguishers that were unlikely to work when needed or were themselves hazardous. He concluded that the industry was actually putting lives in danger, property at risk, and in the process, dislocating families and businesses. Rousseau and his father together resolved to invent a reliable fire extinguisher. They began by putting together a list of extinguisher issues. It turned out to be a very long list, which included the risks inherent with stored pressure cylinders: the integrity of the metal canister itself; faulty gauges; compacting and contamination of the dry chemical; and most of all, concerns about third party service industry abuses. They also noted major design flaws that make the traditional extinguishers awkward and inefficient to use–in particular during an emergency when panic is likely to set in. Well aware that their invention could end the family’s business, the father and son nevertheless persisted in their resolve to invent a brand new extinguisher that would address every one of the problems on the list. Ultimately, they came up with a revolutionary design concept that did eliminate the problems, including the need for and cost of third party servicing. They patented their invention, calling it by two names: “the Eliminator® ” in recognition of their success in eliminating all issues and the “DIY Fire Extinguisher™ ” to highlight the fact that their extinguisher could be fully serviced and reloaded by a lay person.” A great patented design concept is one thing. Developing a certified, commercial product in a highly regulated field like fire extinguishers is quite another. Meeting the rigorous tests mandated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), in particular the tests required for a 3-A: 40-B: C rating, and securing the California State Fire Marshal’s (SFM) Building Materials Listing Program (BML) were particular challenges.
