Ard’time, the manufacturer of the canister, put out a press release acknowledging the incident and urging consumers to comply with a 2013 recall effort. A French consumer magazine reported that several have exploded and knocked out people’s teeth, broken bones in users’ heads and chests, and caused other injuries. However, Burger is supposedly the first person who has actually died as a result of exploding canisters.

French authorities are investigating the accident and Burger’s family also reportedly plans to sue.
