Apparently, nobody was hurt when the Equate Tea Tree dry shampoo blew up in the center console of the car while parked outside the woman’s St. Peters, Missouri home.

On Facebook, the 19-year-old’s mother Christine Debrecht wrote about the scary incident:

“I really feel like I need to spread the word about this and hopefully prevent others from experiencing this damage or even injury. Please feel free to share.

This can of dry shampoo was left in my daughter’s car’s middle console. The lid of the console was closed.

It was hot yesterday and the can exploded. It blew the console cover off of its hinges, shot through the sunroof, and went high enough in the air that it landed about 50 feet away.

I just want to remind you (and your kids) to heed those warnings on products you may be using. Please don’t leave aerosol cans (and especially dry shampoo, as this seems to be an issue with some brands) in your car! I am so grateful that no one was hurt.”

Ch-ch-check out the wild images (below):

Walmart, which owns the brand of the dry shampoo, stated in a statement to NBC News:

“Equate Dry Shampoo includes a specific warning, like most aerosol products, that it may explode if heated and not stored as directed.”

On the front of the can in question, there is a warning printed which states:

“DANGER. Extremely flammable. Container may explode if heated.”

On the back, there is a similar warning printed:

“WARNINGS: Flammable. Pressurized container. Container may explode if heated. Do not puncture or incinerate even after use. Protect from sunlight and store at temperatures below 120 F (48 C).”

While speaking with NBC affiliate KSDK in St. Louis, Debrecht shared a word to the wise:

“It blew the console, the center console, it must have been sitting straight up in there. It blew it straight off its hinges and blew the whole thing off. And then shot up through the sunroof and it was about 50 feet away. Don’t leave aerosol cans in your car. It’s not something we think about every day. And I know our kids have so much stuff on their minds, and even adults, you know. And it’s handy to have things with you where you go.”

That’s wild!!
