Counsumer Alert +Plug-In Air-Freshener Are Unsafe.

A furious flash fire - caused by a plug-in air freshener - swept through a Staten Island home, gravely injuring a mother and her infant son, fire marshals said.

Antoinette Jones and her 1-year-old boy, Malachi, were fighting for their lives at Staten Island University Hospital after firefighters pulled the unconscious pair from a two-story brick home on Chestnut Avenue in Rosebank FDNY officials said.
Fire marshals determined the fire was caused by a "powered air-freshener plug-in," an FDNY spokesman said.
