Defective And Harmful Products

Have you been injured by an exploding PAM Cooking Spray can?

In recent years, PAM aerosol cooking spray has been linked to a growing number of serious injuries. Several people have brought lawsuits against ConAgra Brands, the maker of PAM cooking spray, after large cans have exploded, causing serious fire-related injuries.

If you or someone you love has been hurt by an exploding can, it is essential that you work with a knowledgeable product liability and personal injury attorney. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other expenses.

The Dangers of PAM Spray Cans

Many people use household staples like PAM cooking spray without giving much thought to their contents. We rely on the manufacturers of these products and the government entities that regulate them to ensure their safety. However, some common household products carry hidden dangers.

Spray products like PAM contain flammable propellants like isobutane and propane, which can be deadly when suddenly released. Because these products are often used in the kitchen, they are regularly exposed to heat. The propellants cause cans to overheat easily, and combined with a defective can design, result in dangerous explosions and fires.

Injuries caused by exploding cans often include:

  • First-, second- and third-degree burns on exposed areas of the body
  • Lacerations from debris thrown in explosions
  • Blindness
  • Death

How Can Consumers Stay Safe?

Bottles and cans of cooking spray have exploded from as far as two feet from heat sources. If you or a family member use these products, it is important to keep them as far as possible from heat sources like the oven or stove. In particular, avoid placing cans where they could fall into a burner, fryer or another heat source.
