A teenage girl from Missouri left a bottle of dry shampoo in her car all day — and came back to find the container had blown a hole through her sunroof, her mother said.
Christine Bader Debrecht said her 19-year-old daughter placed the aerosol can inside the car’s closed middle console on Wednesday — and the heat caused it to explode.
“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,” Debrecht wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday.
The post, which had been shared more than 4,500 times by Sunday, includes photos showing the busted glass sunroof and the torched console, as well as the beat-up can of Equate beauty dry shampoo, with a heat warning on it.
“I just want to remind you (and your kids) to heed those warnings on products you may be using,” Debrecht wrote. “Please don’t leave aerosol cans (and especially dry shampoo, as this seems to be an issue with some brands) in your car!”
Debrecht, of St. Louis, told Fox2 she was “grateful” her daughter wasn’t in the car at the time and that no one was hurt.
