A co-worker told me the other day he had a tire blowout
after using fix a flat. I think he said it has a warning about
using at high temp. He put it in a slow leaking tire in the
morning and when tire heated up during mid-day(while driving)
it blew out the tire. Suppose to let air back out of tire as soon
as possible and fill with new clean air to get rid of fumes.
I've used it a few times without paying any attention to those directions.

"Fix-a-Flat" It works good, when you have a flat and do not have the
time or
energy to change the tire. However, do not breathe the stuff!! Last week
I
had a can of Fix-a-Flat under the seat of my 78 Chevy Pickup, ( It says on
the
can 'do not store inside of your car'........too bad I didn't read it.)
That
can blew up when the seat was adjusted and it was ran over by the seat
track.
I drove the truck for a couple of days after, but the smell was so strong
I
could no longer stand it, so I attempted to clean it out. I removed the
seat,
and was hit with a rush of the rather toxic fumes. Right away I became
light
headed, lost my ballance and fell into the door jamb of the truck, slicing
my
face open. ( Lots of Blood) When I got up , I took a quick break, cleaned
up
my face, then went back to cleaning out the truck. The remainder of the
day,
I was dizzy, and my sight was clouded. That evening, Angie ended up
taking me
to the Emergency Room, where I spent several hours wired like a surround
sound system, and on 100% Oxygen. Since then, I have been pretty sick
for
several days. So in conclusion, I reccomend that if you have this product
in
your car or truck, DO NOT keep it inside of your vehicle!!!! I learned
the
hard way. Hopefully, my idiocy can help someone else out there.

PS I still carry a can of Fix-a-Flat in my truck, but now it is in a
sealed
container, in a much safer place!!
(It took a lot to admit my mistake to you all , but I was hoping some
good
could come from this.)
