Danger didn\u2019t knock. It exploded.
\nIn a quiet Shanghai apartment, a boy opened the freezer for a cold drink and, in a split second, his face was torn open by shrapnel from a soft drink can. Blood, screams, a rush to the hospital. Thirty-eight stitches. One terrible mistake hidden in a harmless daily habit. And yet, in countless homes, the same silent, ticking dan\u2026 Continues\u2026<\/p>\n
