Will a Lighter Explosion in the Car Cause a Fire?

[BrielleAnn]

A lighter explosion in the car can cause a fire. If a lighter explodes and the owner is not nearby, it is easy for an open flame to occur, leading to the ignition of flammable items inside the vehicle and resulting in spontaneous combustion. The main component of a lighter is liquid butane, and high concentrations of butane can explode at room temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. If the lighter self-detonates due to exposure to intense sunlight, it is considered human-caused damage to the vehicle, and the insurance company may not cover the cost. Below are the hazards of cooling sprays: 1. Risk of Poisoning: Experts warn that the product contains butane and propane, which have anesthetic effects. Prolonged exposure can lead to poisoning. 2. Risk of Combustion: Sunscreen sprays on the market contain flammable substances such as denatured ethanol, butane, and isobutane, which can ignite upon contact with fire. If sprayed on the body and exposed to a spark, the consequences could be unimaginable. 3. Risk of Frostbite: A large amount of butane can also cause frostbite.
