According to the USA Today article, the company of whipped cream is now up to 60 accidents involved with these cartridges.
The prosecutor’s office told USA Today that an investigation is underway into Saturday’s death of Burger and whether a faulty siphon on a high-pressure canister used to make and dispense whipped cream was at fault
