A lady in Washington was almost killed when a can of de-icer exploded after being left in her car. She pushed the seat back for a little more leg room and the seat crushed the can which exploded, engulfing her and the car in flames.

Here in El Paso, we don't get a lot of serious winter weather but, we've all had to deal with frosted windows so this is a pretty popular product around here.  If you have a can of it laying around waiting for next winter, ya' might want to put it somewhere away from excessive heat and puncture threats.

The same goes for another product you may have in your car.  Canned, pressurized tire sealant.  I can tell you from experience, if that stuff gets hot enough sitting in your car on a summer day in El Paso, the can may pop. I'm not sure exactly how much of a fire threat that stuff is but, I can tell you that getting half a can of it shot directly into your eyes burns like a mofo!
