Don't use a tire repair solvent to plug a hole in an airbed, then attempt to inflate it the next day with an electric air pump. That's the lesson a tenant in a Duesseldorf, Germany apartment building learned this week after a spark from the pump caused his mattress to explode, according to a report from Reuters.
The tenant and a toddler suffered burns from the blast, which also inflicted serious damage on the apartment's walls, windows, and furniture.
If you use an airbed in your apartment or inflate one when a guest visits, avoid problems by following your airbed's instructions for its proper use and care.
