Canned goods can explode if exposed to extreme heat, or if they are dented and have even a pin-sized hole in them. The hole can cause air to come in, and can cause Botulism, a deadly paralytic toxin. You can't always tell if it contains Botulism, however, the key sign is to look for is a foamy liquid inside. Botulism can lead to respiratory failure.
