CPSC, Distributors Announce Recall of "FIRE CAP" Fire and Smoke
Suppressants
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC),
and various distributors, are announcing the recall of more than 136,000
cans of "FIRE CAP" brand fire and smoke suppressant. The product does
not suppress fires and could intensify fires. The product was
manufactured by The Colbra Group, which is out of business.
CPSC is not aware of any incidents or injuries with this product.
This recall is being conducted to help prevent injuries.
The 16-ounce aerosol cans are red, orange, yellow, black and white
with a red plastic cap and red aerosol button. Wording on the front of
the can reads in part, "FIRE CAP...FIRE and SMOKE SUPPRESSANT." "FOR USE
ON SMALL SPOT FIRES..." is on the back of the can along with drawings of
the product being used on a trash can fire, a stove fire, a car fire and
a camp fire. "Manufactured by the Colbra Group" is written on the back
of the can.
Snap-On Tools dealers, Home Shopping Network, and direct market
distributors, including Mid-State Fire Systems, and Contract Filling
Inc., sold the product nationwide from February 1996 through September
1999 for about $10.
Consumers should stop using this product immediately. Consumers should
either throw out the can or return it to the place where purchased for a
full refund. Consumers should call CPSC's toll-free hotline at (800)
638-2772 for instructions on returning the product to the place of
purchase.
