IN A tale that smells more like a sour lemon than a sweet vanilla breeze, a US woman found herself in a sticky situation after a Bath & Body Works air freshener allegedly went kaboom in her car.
Kyndal Chandler took to TikTok to share her misadventure, complete with a hospital visit and a hefty ER bill.
In the viral video, Chandler can be seen nursing her eyes and showing off what appears to be a bleach-splattered car roof, courtesy of the explosive freshener fiasco.
With over 42 million views, Chandler's plight has struck a chord with fellow drivers, sparking a wave of sympathy and cautionary quips.
Comments ranged from wary side-eyes at innocent air fresheners to pun-laden jests such as "bath and body works? more like...eyes and body hurts, amirite?".
But Chandler isn't alone in her aromatic agony.
Another TikTok user chimed in with their own seat-melting horror story, prompting a flurry of cautionary tales and precautionary measures from Bath & Body Works air freshener aficionados.
While Chandler's injuries thankfully seem less dire than initially feared, the call for legal action is in the air.
So, as Chandler's cautionary tale wafts through the online ether, it may pay to remember that when it comes to air fresheners, it's better to be safe than scent-sorry.
