A freak accident involving a whipped cream canister has killed a 33-year-old French Instagram model and popular fitness/travel blogger.

An Instagram post signed by “the grieving family and husband” on Rebecca Burger’s popular account announced that she died Sunday, June 18, after an accident in the home.

An earlier post included a photo of an object similar to the one involved in Burger’s death, stating that the siphon on the canister exploded and struck Berger’s chest area, causing her death.  The post claimed that tens of thousands of these defective items are still in circulation, and it warned followers not to use the product.

Voici un exemple de siphon à chantilly qui a explosé et percuté le thorax de Rebecca, entraînant son décès. Précision : le siphon qui a engendré sa mort quant à lui été mis sous scellé. N'utilisez pas ce genre d'ustensile chez vous ! Plusieurs dizaines de milliers d'appareils défectueux sont encore en circulation.

As reported by the Associated Press (AP), the canister with the plastic siphon was manufactured by the company Ard’time and was taken off the market after a 2013 recall in response to safety concerns.  A statement posted Thursday on the company’s Facebook page and website urged the public to share information about the recalled product.

According to the statement, the company worked with its retail partners to recall and destroy the defective products beginning in 2013.

The consumer magazine 60 Million Consumers reported Wednesday that it had been warning consumers for many years about accidents involving the defective kitchen tool, but that this was the first known death. 

Benjamin Douriez, deputy editor of 60 Million Consumers, told AP that “we knew it would happen one day.”
