I wonder if he'd check the label of the Muc-Off solvent and see if it says flammable or whatever. I ask because it is illegal to send most flammable liquids as air cargo, depending on various standards, flammability, container size, and total amount on the aircraft.
If the product is flammable, Wiggle dodged a bullet. For obvious reasons, every effort is made to minimize the fire risk in air cargo, and the fines for violators can be very hefty. Often broken/spilled liquids are how they get caught.
Muc Off has a lot of products:

The bio-degreaser's British version of the MSDS is here:
http://www.partinfo.co.uk/files/948%...ser%20(GB).pdf
Listed as "Extremely Flammable", and contains Butane and Propane.
They MIGHT have dodged a bullet there.
Both the Muc Off X3 Chain Cleaner and the Muc Off Bio Degreaser are currently listed as "No Longer Available". So, it is also quite possible that they products have been pulled from inventory following this incident.

I am a little puzzled about the "Bio" aspect. :Foo:
It sounds a lot like kerosene with a propane propellant, along with some unnamed surfactant (soap?)
Lots of notes about toxicity on the MSDS, although, the LD50 sounds relatively high. At least more than just a taste.
