Depends on how it is stored. I replace mine every 1.5 - 2 years. I then use the old stuff for practice (sometimes into the wind)...might as well see what would happen in a SD situation and some got into your own eyes. Could you still mobilize your thoughts and actions?

Can't speak for the Fox, but the MSI Oc sprays I use have an expiration date label on them. IIRC it was 4 years or so. I'm sure it will be effective after that, but why risk it? It's cheap.

A few years ago one of the vendors said that the keychain units should be replaced every year.Larger units last for several years, and the last I bought had an expiration date. I have found that none I have had has much left in the can after two years.

I also weighed each type unit plus an empty to be able to determine when the OC is gone. I find the 2 oz units last about 4 years.

If you let more than 1-2 years go by without finding someone/something deserving to be sprayed, you aren't trying hard enough.
