It was voluntary in regards to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC
has never issued a mandatory recall, they are all voluntary technically. That
aside it wasn't voluntary any more once the IFC kicked in 2006. If you are
under that or newer they are required to be replaced. If you find one today it
must be replaced under IFC 901.9 ('06, '09, '12 (.10))
I'm trying to figure out if Tyco finished their work they were responsible for.

Chris, et al:
Regarding the "recall" - I seem to 'recall' (?) (and still hear) the term
"voluntary" used before the (TYCO/CENTRAL GB) recall...And, yes, I suspect
there are probably (still) at least a few million of those sprinklers "in
service".
Regards to all-

Yes, I know this expired back in '07. Or at least Tyco paying for replacements
expired, the heads are still recalled. The question is have all submitted
claims been replaced? I know there are a lot of them still out there that were
never claimed under the recall.
