If you were wondering how to combine cuteness and fire safety, the Hello Kitty fire extinguisher is your answer. Just because you need to put out a fire, doesn't mean you can't look adorable while doing it.
These flame retardant canisters feature three different designs inspired by the popular Japanese cat cartoon. The girly safety devices are officially licensed by Sanrio as well, so you can feel legit as you fight fires. Despite the product description noting 'I am glad to elderly women and Easy Operation,' the Hello Kitty fire extinguisher does spread a positive message, which is that if you don't have a mouth to yell for help you should take matters into your own hands as long as you can safely do so.
