Authorities: Don't use body sprays as flame throwers

VIEW SLIDESHOW JEFFERSON COUNTY - Popular body sprays like Axe are contributing to the legal problems facing nearly a dozen teens in the metro area.

Several teens have been investigated after lighting classmates' clothing on fire and using the cologne bottles as flame throwers. West Metro says in one case bushes next to an apartment building caught fire and spread to the complex.

Even the manufacturers are taking the concerns seriously, addressing the issue on their Web site, http://www.theaxeeffect.com/aboutaxe.html.

West Metro is asking teachers, principals and parents to get involved and caution teens as well as urging them to ignore the more than 200 YouTube videos featuring this behavior. />
