00:0010 times you should never leave in a hot car, and some of these might surprise you.
00:04Number one, aerosol cans.
00:05Hairspray, sunscreen spray, dry shampoo.
00:08These can explode in extreme heat.
00:10Two, medication.
00:12Insulin, EpiPens, inhalers.
00:13Heat can make them stop working properly.
00:16Three, sunscreen.

00:20Four, groceries.
00:22A hot car becomes the perfect place for bacteria to grow fast.
00:25And soda cans can even burst.
00:27Five, glasses.
00:29Prescription lenses and coating can warp or crack after sitting on a dashboard.
00:34Six, lighters and matches.
00:36These have started real car fires during heat waves.
00:39Seven, clear plastic water bottles.
00:41Sunlight through the bottle can act like a magnifying glass and ignite materials inside the car.
00:45Eight, important documents.
00:47Passports, IDs, and receipts can warp, fade, or lose their ink.
00:50Nine, lithium-ion devices.
00:53Phones, laptops, vapes, and power banks can all overheat, swell, or even catch fire.
00:57And ten, air spray.
00:59Extreme heat can build pressure inside the can until it explodes.
01:02And remember, when it's 90 outside, your car interior can hit 130 degrees, or more, in less than an hour.
