- Aerosol cans. Extreme temperatures can cause aerosol cans to “become unstable” and potentially break or explode
- Canned beverages and foods. The USDA says cans can swell if the food inside expands when it’s frozen… or because of a bacteria…so you should discard them. Cans that are not swollen but have thawed out are also unsafe and should be discarded, says the USDA.
- Eggs. Why you’d leave them in the car is a mystery. Eggs should not be frozen in their shells.
- Electronics. Leaving electronics, like your cell phone or tablet, in a freezing car can impact how they function
- Medications. Medicine is another item that should not be frozen
- Loved ones and pets. This should be obvious. Children and elderly people can be more susceptible to hypothermia at cold temperatures, as can pets.
