You won’t believe this even happened, scroll down!
This woman is trying to spread awareness about exploding shampoo bottles after one blew a hole in the roof of her car.
When 19-year-old, Christine Debrecht, got in her car on September 18th, she never thought the Equate dry shampoo she had in there would explode like a literal bomb. That’s exactly what happened when the shampoo exploded, smashing through the sunroof.
Luckily the car was parked outside when the shampoo exploded, no one was injured, but the damage to the car gave Christine a harsh reality check.
Not only was the sunroof shattered, but the entire center console of her honda civic was also destroyed.
Christine and her mother, initially thought someone had thrown a brick through the 19-year-old’s sunroof. That’s until they saw the remanence of the Equate dry shampoo showered throughout the car.
“We thought it came from above, it must have blasted off like a missile. We’re just glad no-one was hurt.” Said, Christine’s mother.
19-year-old Christine, posted the incident to Facebook, to say how lucky she felt.
The exploding shampoo left Christine shaken, she posted to Facebook to tell people how lucky she was, and also to warn them about the dangers of exploding shampoo. In the post she says:
“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.”
