Glass shrapnel injuries to children resulting from "dry ice bomb" explosions: a report of three cases.
Glass shrapnel from explosions of "dry ice bombs," created by thrusting dry ice into glass soft-drink bottles and occluding the opening of the bottles, has produced serious and multiple lacerating injuries in three children, which required major operative intervention. We found no previous reports of this grave hazard.
