User purchased 3 aerosol cans of Wilson Fly Out Flying Insect Killer. User has applied 2 cans and approximately a quarter of the third can in the basement (garbage room). Then he went on 4th floor of the building to spray in the garbage chute room. He opened up the garbage chute door and started spraying the flies that were coming out, holding the can slightly tilted sideways. In a matter of seconds, the can exploded while user was handling the product. The explosion propelled sharp pieces of the can, which caused severe lacerations on user hand and fingers (3 deep cuts), and also a large bruise from the bottom of the can hitting user in the side of his stomach. User has received 14 stitches at the hospital emergency, where he stayed for about 4.5 hours.
User reported that in the store where he has purchased the products, some cans showed signs of damage, as if they had been cut into by a knife. User said that he had spoke to store manager, and that the store conducted a sweep and discarded many damaged products.
