All I can say is that it's toast, but I realize you're not even asking about if you can fix it. Glad I always avoided those, mainly because they look so bad. Someone should definitely make it well known that that thing comes with a risk to damage oh say 100X its own worth. I want to know which company has a dirty little secret but with this product it's probably all of them, made in the same region, the same way, by a number of factories, with so many different combinations of packaging, design, and company names it's in the tens of thousands, a different label on the shelf every few months. Maybe not though, I never really paid any attention to them. Might have a better chance with the ones in the cans. Might as well just throw a tree under the seat every now and then.
