Summary of the Issue:
When attempting to remove the safety pin on the Amerex fire extinguisher, the top handle assembly broke off, rendering the extinguisher completely unusable. This occurred during a normal pull of the safety pin not during discharge. The failure makes the extinguisher impossible or extremely difficult to operate in an emergency.
