The coroner's concerns
1. use of Glade Automatic Air Freshener Spray near naked flames
“Whether the manufacturer is aware and understands the extent of the risks of the use of a Glade Automatic Air Freshener Spray near to naked flames, and specifically the distance which the flame can extend.”
2. insufficiently prominent warning of fire risk near naked flame
“Whilst there are both warning signs and wording on the box containing a new spray and on the aerosol to be fitted to it, tam concerned that the words warning of the dangers of use near a naked flame is not sufficiently large and prominent to draw the dangers to a users attention.”
3. lack of warning signs on air freshener body
“There were no warning signs on the body of the automatic air freshener. Once the box containing the new air freshener was discarded a user would have only the information printed on the aerosol as a warning.”
