N2  - This report describes one burn service's experience with burn injuries sustained by 18 patients over a 5-year period as a result of the explosion of pressurized aerosol cans. The burns were predominantly superficial flash burns and involved from 5 to 45 per cent of the body surface area. There were no deaths in the series. Heightened public awareness of the fire and explosive hazards of these cans, as well as a more prominent warning label on the can should aid in decreasing the incidence of these injuries.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
