Yes, you could have a fire risk at least until the volatile petroleum vapors have dissapated. It is unwise to use any petroleum products in an enclosed living space, as vapors can be toxic and flammable. Depending on how much paint thinner you used and how big an area you cleaned, the vapors might reach a concentration that could be ignited by a pilot light in a water heater or electrical switch. Vapors will tend to hug the floor. If a product like this is spilled, the room should be ventialted and evacuated. It may be difficult to remove all the paint thinnner from a synthetic (or any other) carpet. There are other safer stain removal products designed for use in the home. For oil-based paints or other like materials, you might try a citrus-based cleaner. Always check for color fading/bleaching in a nonvisible location.
