First aid Made Mar 30, 2015, sent to the company Apr 7, 2015, published by CPSC Apr 28, 2015
The product, in the report: “Flex Seal Liquid Rubber Sealant Coating”
I was spraying a product called Flex Seal Clear outdoors in my backyard. I was spraying it on an old metal ice chest/cooler. There was no ignition source around. The spray spontaneously combusted - exploded. The can warns against using indoors and making sure there is plenty of ventilation and that there is no ignition source (pilot light, flame, etc.). Using it outdoors and with no heat source there should have been no reason for it to ignite.

The product, in the report: Liquid Rubber
I was spraying my driveway with Clear Flex Seal when the product spontaneously burst into flames. There was no open flame, spark or smoking in the area. In addition to the burned driveway, my hand was also burned. The product continued to burn for several minutes until I was able to get a water hose and douse the area with water.
