May I suggest you replace it with a kitchen fire blanket similar this. (No affiliation, just a retired Firefighter's suggestion.) It doesn't expire and creates a LOT less mess if you have to use it.

If you keep your fire extinguisher, in addition to checking the pressure, turn it upside down and give it a few taps with a rubber mallet twice a year. the chemicals can settle.
