A fitness model/blogger has sadly died after an exploding whipped cream dispenser 'hit her in the chest'.
Rebecca Burger, 33, had a following of around 200,000 over various social networking sites, but she was most popular on Instagram.
Her family took to her Facebook page to share the news of her tragic death.
They wrote: "It is with great sadness that we announce Rebecca's death on Sunday June 18, 2017 following a domestic accident.

"Family, relatives and grieving husband."
They also posted an image of a cream dispenser which is similar to the one that apparently hit her after exploding, causing a heart attack which ultimately killed her.
They wrote: "This is an example of the cream siphon which exploded and hit Rebecca's thorax, causing her death.

"The siphon which caused her death was sealed. Don't use this product in your homes! Tens of thousands of the faulty devices are already in circulation."

Women's Best, a magazine who Rebecca modelled for, shared a touching tribute to Rebecca, writing: "We are sad to have to announce the loss of this wonderful soul. Our French athlete Rebecca Burger died yesterday.
"Rebecca was a great athlete and a kind and generous person with whom to work.
They continued: "Pray for her to rest in peace and for her family to remain strong. We will always be proud of you Rebecca."
The BBC reports that a particular French consumer group has been issuing warnings regarding the dispensers for years. They say that there are 'faulty connectors on the gas capsules, causing them to break and expel at high speed'.

Magazine 60 Millions said that 'injuries caused range from broken teeth and tinnitus to multiple fractures and, in one case, the loss of an eye.'
However, they believed that canisters made after 2015 were now safe.
