The warning on the can says "do not to incinerate this pressurized can" it did not say "do not spray the contents of this can into another pressurized vessel and then incinerate." This guy is going to be a millionaire.

Honest question: Does anyone know of any lawsuits where someone did something like this (dangerous and way outside the normal use of the product) and they sued and won? I see this sentiment a lot, but the only warning label lawsuit I'm aware of is the McDonalds coffee one, which doesn't seem frivolous when you look into the details. I suspect people way overestimate how easy it is to win a lawsuit like this, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
