PAM Cooking Spray
Were you injured while using PAM Cooking Spray?
Explosions and Burns
According to news reports, the 10-ounce can of PAM Cooking Spray exploded as consumers were cooking.
Reported injuries include:
- third-degree burns
- disfigurement
- blindness
The reported explosions have occurred with 10-ounce cans of the cooking spray, but not the 5-ounce or 6-ounce cans.
The U-shaped Vent System
Most spray cans use propellants like propane or butane. When these propellants get too close to a heat source, they can easily combust.
The 10-ounce cans involved in reported explosions used a U-shaped vent system on the bottom of the can to vent the propellants.
Conagra, the maker of PAM, discontinued the U-shaped vent design on its 10-ounce cans earlier this year. However, many of the cans remain available at warehouse stores like WalMart and Costco, and with online retailers like Amazon.
