KIDDE Australia’s Quell Firestop product which has been available for sale at multiple large traders has been recalled.

Quell Fire Stop is a spray can with trigger mechanism, containing a fire suppressant for use against Class A, B, E, and F fire categories.

The product was available nationally between 7 December 2021 and 29 May 2024 from the following traders:

Aldi

Tool Kit Depot

Gadgetcity

Lock Supplies

Affected products have a barcode number of 9315546392566.

The labelling on the product does not comply with the mandatory standard for portable aerosol fire extinguishers. The product may be mistaken for a fire extinguisher when it is a fire suppressant.

There is a risk of serious burns and property damage if consumers attempt to use the product beyond its capabilities as a fire extinguisher.

Consumers should stop using the product immediately and should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
