When it is used in an unventilated space, such as a small room, closet or other confined area, prolonged occupancy of that space can result in loss of consciousness and possible death due to oxygen deficiency.
- Page 5 AFTER USE INSTRUCTIONS NOTE Fire extinguishers should always be recharged immediately after any use.
