Can ruptures and sticks in back seat

Colleagues

Please find attached a photograph highlighting the dangers associated with pressurized containers and the warm weather. This is a picture of a pressurized can that exploded in a person’s vehicle and imbedded itself in the back seat of the car. The metal backing in the seat back stopped it from penetrating the seat completely. The temperature outside of the closed up vehicle was about 100 degrees F. The can had directions on it about not being stored above 140 degrees F. Do you or anyone of your loved ones keep pressurized cans in their car? The same principle applies to any pressurized container stored near a window or heat source. Remember that solvents will pressurize a container when heated also. Please keep all items that are pressurized or can become pressurized in a cool shaded area at all times.
