Keeps Small Fires from Growing
Tundra is a fire extinguishing spray that works immediately on contact to keep small fires from growing dangerously out of control. Give you and your family peace of mind by storing a can in the kitchen, near the grill, in your garage, and with your camping gear.Thanks to its proprietary, wide-spray nozzle, the Tundra extinguishing agent quickly puts out fires by covering a surface area that is three times greater than what typical actuators cover. At the same time, an internal pouch isolates the pressure, so when the nozzle is pressed, only the contents are released. This prevents the propellant from spreading the fire and creating an even more dangerous situation. Easier to Use than Traditional Fire Extinguishers
Tundra boasts a discharge time that is four times longer than traditional fire extinguishers. And thanks to its intuitive, patent-pending spray nozzle design, Tundra is much easier to use than a traditional extinguisher--it has no pins to unlock or levers to squeeze. Just point the nozzle at any orientation from a distance of three to four feet and spray. And with a compact height of just 9.65 inches and weight of only 22 ounces, Tundra is a snap to store in cabinets or drawers, next to the fireplace, underneath the sink, or anywhere else you think you might need it. Biodegradable Spray is Easy to Clean Up
Tundra spray is safe to use and easy to clean up--simply wipe off the spray with a damp cloth. Unlike traditional fire extinguisher chemicals that can cause permanent harm to sprayed areas, Tundra features a biodegradable formula that won't damage appliances, equipment, or counter surfaces. This special formula also spares you the hassle and expense of hazmat disposal. What's in the Box

 happy to have found this item June 1, 2010

I am relieved to have found something to replace the old fire extinguishers that are too complicated in case of an emergency. Needless, to say I hope never to need "First Alert"

Consumer Reports May 2010 assessment: We tested two aerosol fire sprays, the First Alert Tundra and the Shield Fire Protection Kitchen Guard, and have judged each as Don't Buy: Performance Problem. Unlike the extinguishers we tested, neither has a pressure indicator that shows whether the unit is ready for use. And the sprays are not intended to replace a standard extinguisher (NFPA 10 compliant) where required, as the makers say on the labels. The sprays sometimes made the grease fire in our tests flare up before they put it out. That could cause the fire to spread or prompt the user to stop the spray. We found that two of the 10 Tundra samples didn't properly discharge.
Looks like it will do the job. February 28, 2010

Haven't had an opportunity to try it out yet (thank God) and hope I never have to but it looks like it will do the job.
 Good idea, could be better October 21, 2009

Fortunately, I have not had to use this yet, so I am judging by its features and potential. I like the idea of something small, handy and that is easy to operate. I think they are right that the few seconds you save by having something nearby probably makes a big difference. However, I share concerns of others about the two-year expiration date. The bigger issue is any lack of pressure indicator, which you find on conventional extinguishers. Without that, two things will happen. People who own spray cans that are still good and usable will be needlessly tossing them because of the expiration date. The company's web site suggests that the pressure holds for many years beyond that, but they give you the date for a margin of safety, or more likely because the lawyers told them to. So there will be a lot of these tossed while in perfectly good condition. But worse is that other people will forget about there being an expiration date and the thing will not work when they need it to. The company should try to figure out a cost-effective way of adding a simple go/no-go pressure indicator that tells you with a glance whether the device is still usable. That would be a much better way to deal with the issue. Even if it raises the price, it would still be cost-effective in the long run because they would only be replaced when necessary, and not by the flipping of a calendar page.
Very handy but be aware, 2 year shelf life October 17, 2009

I purchased these at a box store. Next to them were the "old style" extinguishers. I liked the size, and the price was $15 cheaper than the old-school. However after getting them home and looking closer I found an expiration date 2 years in the future meaning that I'll have to re-purchase them again in 2 years (assuming I don't use them). I find that frustrating because the "old school" extinguishers right next to them had a big sign "good for 10 years". Suddenly saving $15 feels like spending $$ every two years.
I bought these to get a discount on my home insurance, and of course for home safety. But it won't be very safe if I (probably) forget about them for 5 years until there is a fire and find them under the kitchen sink expired. I think I will bring them back and exchange for the old style extinguisher.
