The product, in the report: 12 pack of 12 oz cans of Diet Pepsi
I purchased a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi and took it home in my car in Phoenix Arizona. The ambient temperature was approximately 100 degrees. By the time I got home, the Diet Pepsi cans we at ambient temperature. As I loaded the first one into the refrigerator the can struck the refrigerator shelf. The can immediately exploded and sprayed product into my face and eyes. This caused me to drop the remaining 11 cans still in the cardboard packaging. When they hit the ground 5 more cans exploded.
These cans are clearly a pressure vessel and should be certified to maintain a safety factor over all of their operating conditions. Further, if these cans are unstable above a specific temperature, the package should be clearly labeled as such. These 12 oz bombs should be made safe or taken off the market.
