Plug-in air fresheners are (not so) dangerous..

* * Edit: Damn, I'm a sucker for all sorts of info, FALSE stuff included.. Thanks to Nathan Pralle for this link. * *

So I received this email today about house fires and air fresheners..

I'm sure many fires have been caused by plug-in air fresheners over the years due to disregard for general safety procedures with outlets, so it probably could happen, but no, not without a little help.

The email:

A man and his wife learned a hard lesson this week.

Their house burnt down.. nothing left but ashes. They have good insurance so the house will be replaced and most of the contents. That is the good news.

However, they were sick when they found out the cause of the fire. The insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for several hours. He had the cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom. He asked her sister-in-law what she had plugged in the bathroom. She listed the normal things....curling iron, blow dryer. He kept saying to her, 'No, this would be something that would disintegrate at high temperatures'. Then her sister-in-law remembered she had a Glade Plug-In, in the bathroom.


The investigator had one of those 'Aha' moments. He said that was the cause of the fire. He said he has seen more house fires started with the plug-in type room fresheners than anything else. He said the plastic they are made from is THIN. He also said that in every case there was nothing left to prove that it even existed. When the investigator looked in the wall plug, the two prongs left from the plug-in were still in there.

Her sister-in-law had one of the plug-ins that had a small night light built in it. She said she had noticed that the light would dim and then finally go out. She would walk into the bathroom a few hours later, and the light would be back on again. The investigator said that the unit was getting too hot, and would dim and go out rather than just blow the light bulb. Once it cooled down it would come back on. That is a warning sign.

The investigator said he personally wouldn't have any type of plug-in fragrance device anywhere in his house. He has seen too many places that have been burned down due to them.

* * Again, the info in this email is false. * *

I'll definitely be forwarding this link to the person who sent the email. If you receive something similar, you might want to pass it along, too.
