A popular lifestyle blogger in France has died after a whipped cream dispenser exploded and hit her in the chest, her family said.
Rebecca Burger — who had a large following on Instagram and often wrote about fashion, food and fitness — was killed in the canister blast inside her home Sunday, Burger’s family confirmed on her social media pages.
The blogger’s relatives posted a photo on Instagram of the high-pressure whipped cream dispenser, which was recalled four years ago. “Here’s an example of a whipped cream dispenser that exploded and struck Rebecca’s thorax, causing her death,” her family wrote, warning others not to use the dispenser.
The dispenser has been recalled since early 2013 due to concerns of the plastic top “bursting” off, according to Ard’time, the kitchenware company that produced the product.
