Whipped cream dispenser explodes, kills star blogger

Instagram star and lifestyle blogger Rebecca Burger dies after a pressurized dispenser
of whipped cream hit her chest, her family said in a statement posted in her Instagram account.

The travel, food and outfit blogger, who is popular for her health and fitness posts on www.rebeccalikes.com, died in her home in Eastern France.

“It is with great sadness we announce the death of Rebecca who died the June 18th, 2017 in an accident in the home,” the statement read.

The family is warning the public not to use the similar product, posting the photo of the canister on Burger’s Instagram account with this caption: Do not use this kind of utensil in your home! Tens of thousands of defective devices are still in circulation.

France’s National Consumer Institute (INC) has issued a warning over the same canister type, used by the Ard’Time brand of whipped cream.

INC is saying that the plastic lid may not be able to withstand pressure from the carbon dioxide inside.

Two similar accidents have occurred in France in 2014 but neither resulted in death.
