Related, sort of- even before smoking became taboo, it was
banned on nuclear subs. From what I understand the main reason was if
there were to be a freon leak, the freon would turn to phosgene as it
went through the lit cigarette. Oh yeah, the subs ran/run freon a/c.

Pretty scary. This would be so easy to do, too. I
couldn't have told you what phosgene is or how little it would take to
do permanent damage. Even reading the label wouldn't have necessarily
highlighted the dangers in that case. Every product in existence comes
with a warning that it will cause cancer in Californians, so it's
pretty easy to decide not to bother with warning labels any more.

Definitely an important warning for people who cook with brake
cleaner....
Seriously though, it seems that fellow is very lucky to be
alive, and his unfortunate experience points out a danger inherent in
the use of common industrial solvents and cleaning products. As the guy
said, Read the Label. If you do, you may look for a different, and
safer product.
