The spray is called Fright Night Temporary Hair Color

KENT, Wash. - A Kent woman got the scare of her life when a can of Halloween hair spray exploded and gave her second degree burns.

The blisters on Diane Boynton's right hand are a painful reminder of the accident, which happened nearly two weeks ago.

The Kent woman had bought a can of "Fright Night Temporary Hair Color - Black Fog" for a Halloween costume for her son. She had it on a table when it accidentally fell onto the floor.

"And all of a sudden I heard a sound and looked down and it was spraying black up the wall all over the carpet, all over the end table," she said.

Diane grabbed it with her right hand to try and stop the spraying black paint and the chemical inside the can poured on her hand and fingers.

"It was like a burning but it was very, very cold," she said. "Like if I was carrying dry ice."

Diane was treated for her injuries, but the doctor wanted to know exactly what was inside the can.

"When I came back here I went to the doctor and he said you need to find out what the chemical is, so we can know the most effective way to treat you," she said. "And as of now I have not been able to do that."

Diane called the store she bought it from, and they told her to contact the manufacturer. That's when she ran into problems. It was made and produced in China.

Diane contacted the distributor - American International Industries - and has not received a reply.

"If that was a young kid, it could have caused some permanent damage and I know how painful it was for me and I don't want to see another family go through this," Boynton said.

She says she will also be spending a scary night on Halloween -- worrying that others who use it may also get hurt.

Diane also asked the store she bought it from to pull it from their shelves, but it is still available for purchase
