Death Made Nov 26, 2014, sent to the company Feb 4, 2015, published by CPSC Feb 27, 2015
The product, in the report: Computer Duster manufactured by Falcon Products, NJ
My son was 24 when he died from inhaling computer duster. His official cause of death was diflouroethane-1 toxicity. I have since learned that MANY deaths have resulted from misuse of this product. I have also learned that this is a HIGHLY addictive substance. More importantly, it is cheap and available to all ages for purchase. By age 12, 11% of children have tried inhalants. Sadly, the numbers for adults have been growing also. My son had not been a drug user prior to this event. This product can cause sudden death or brain damage even after the first use.
Falcon Products, manufacturer, had added a bitterant to their product to deter misuse. Clearly this has not worked as intended.
If this product cannot be banned, than there should be either an age restriction or it should be kept behind a counter.
For more information regarding inhalant abuse, please contact [REDACTED] - National Inhalant Prevention Coalition
