Hot summer period does not

only poses the danger of heat


stress on humans but also
the danger of pressurized
containers and electrical
equipments exploding as
explained in this
presentation.

Do you keep WD-40, hair spray, Off,


Fix-A-Flat, etc. in your vehicle?

If so, you might want to reconsider.

The picture is of a
pressurized can that
exploded in a person’s
vehicle and imbedded itself in
the back seat of the car. The
temperature outside of the
closed up vehicle was about
45 degrees Celsius.

What if you or a loved one


had been sitting in that
seat?
Do any of your family
members keep aerosol cans

If they do, please pass this
warning along to them!

The incident pictured happened at a refinery in Beaumont. A deodorant


spray can was left in the back of the vehicle that was parked in an open
space in the middle of a hot, sunny day.

LEARNED BY EXPERIENCE!

An incident of a mobile phone


explosion inside a vehicle cabin
was reported in Saudi Arabia
lately.

Incident Background
Mobile phone units were left
inside the car compartment while
the vehicle was parked in an open
area. One of the phones had its
Shattered car windshield as a result of the

Obviously the mobile phone’s battery
is the only component as the
legitimate source of stored energy.

The solar heat obviously pressurized


the car’s closed cabin. What triggers
the explosion could be the overheated
battery caused by extremely high
temperature magnified by the
windshield (glass) and the sealed

Most of the mobile phone battery


incidents are linked with faked or non
original parts that are not tested or
certified. So always use the original
parts.

Evidence of rupture and heavy melting due to


intense temperature as a consequence of the
