Woman Ends Up in ER After Mistaking Builder’s Foam For Hair Mousse
A Eastern Europe woman mistakenly used Builder's foam instead of her hair styling mousse. She mistook the cans, and applied the foam on her hair and it soon became a massive mess. According to the Daily Mail, Builder's foam is an expanding polyurethane foam, a handy product generally used for preventing leaks, filling up gaps and holding things in place (definitely not hair!).
The lady had to be admitted in hospital and a picture of her with a mass of polyurethane foam plopped on her head, went viral across social networks. The image is said to have been taken in an A&E department in Eastern Europe, as per reports by the Huffington Post.
However, it was posted on Facebook by police in the Czech city of Novy Jicin to warn people of such mishaps. But they later deleted the picture after viewers began assuming it was a local resident. "The photo comes from some Russian website," said chief of police Jiri Klein, according to BT.
In the picture she can be apparently seen sitting in a waiting room with a distressed expression on her face. This strange issue highlights the importance of reading the labels of a can or ensuring the right product is being used for anything at all, without unnecessary presumptions. Always double check before usage of any kind.
