Hi Michael My brother in law also has a powder extinguisher from his boat which is 20-30 years old and he never fails to rub it in that it is still in perfect condition (powder can be heard moving freely and the pressure gauge is in the green). I am sure that many extinguishers last longer than the recommended lifespan and for households it is perfectly acceptable to use their own judgement
Tom is right. And the cost for a 6kg powder extinguisher is pretty excessive
Hi Mobi The Safelincs extinguishers were manufactured in the UK by FPS in Bristol. FPS have now discontinued manufacture in the UK
It is like any other service engineer car, domestic appliances and others its the only way they can cost the job, until they know what replacement parts are needed.

Many people are unaware of the devastating effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide has no colour, smell or taste and cannot be detected by the human senses. It is extremely dangerous, binding itself to the haemoglobin in red blood cells and preventing them from transporting oxygen around the body.
According to statistics released by the Office for National Statistics, throughout England and Wales, there are an average of over 60 deaths every year due to accidental exposure to carbon monoxide - up to 45% of which occur in the home.

Figures from the Department of Health and Social Care show that there are around 4000 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning treated in A&E Departments across England each year - even mild cases can exacerbate existing conditions such as respiratory illnesses, leading to fatalities.
According to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for England, around 200 per year are hospitalised in England and Wales as a result of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
A study of more than 27,000 properties by the Liverpool John Moores University, supported by the Merseyside and West Midlands Fire Services, found that less than 10% of homes have a single carbon monoxide alarm to protect occupants from this deadly gas.
