Consumer Updates > Use Sunscreen Spray? Avoid Open Flame:

"You love a good summer barbecue and wisely use sunscreen if you are out in the sun. What you may not know is that if you apply certain sunscreen sprays and then come close to a source of flame, you may risk the sunscreen catching fire and giving you a serious burn.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has become aware of five separate incidents in which people wearing sunscreen spray near sources of flame suffered significant burns that required medical treatment."

Fire Safe Cigarettes Are A Good Thing

I've not heard about fire-safe cigarettes until now, after reading this MSNBC News article, Smokers burned up over ‘fire-safe cigarettes’ - Self-extinguishing smokes sweep the country, but many say they taste bad. As a non-smoker, I think they're a good idea. Living in a parched, drought-stricken location, I see far too many lit cigarettes tossed on the ground, posing a potential fire danger. I can also see the benefit to those choosing to smoke in bed, or prone to falling asleep while smoking. I can see why it'll be hard for remaining states to resist the tide to enact fire-safe cigarette laws.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Danger - If it burns, be cautious (video)

They call carbon monoxide the silent killer. That's because fuel burning devices can give off this poisonous gas that you can't see or smell. Learn more about this dangerous gas in this CDC video, "The Quiet Killer." I'm posting this because we're entering the holiday season. A time when family and friends gather. It's really important to pay attention to the potential causes of carbon monoxide poisoning, and prevent a catastrophe from happening.
