The Dangers of Aerosol Air Fresheners for Your Car

Do you like your car smelling fresh? Do you use aerosol sprays as air freshener for your car? Well if you are, you better take the aerosol can from your car right away!

Aerosol spray cans are pressurized canisters that are known to explode when exposed to extreme heat, which is why manufacturers warn users of these cans not to throw them into an open flame, even when empty.

Last July 16, Sunday, in England, a man who was in his early 20s suffered from burn injuries after an aerosol can exploded inside his car.

What happened was that he sprayed his car with the aerosol can then he began to light a cigarette. Instantaneously, the can exploded inside his car. The windshield was blown away and the car door was left hanging from its hinges.

Joe, on the other hand, suffered from minor burns despite the severe damage to his car. He was then taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

A spokesman for West Mercia Police said, “It is believed to have been caused when a lighter was in contact with an air freshener, that had been sprayed moments earlier within the vehicle. This damaged the vehicle and led to the windscreen being forced 75 feet away from it.”

Sergeant Col Robinson, of West Mercia Police, added “This appears to be an isolated incident and did not cause any danger to the wider public. However, this shows the potential dangers that can be caused by spraying aerosol cans within confined spaces.”
