Property that is easily inflammable, present danger of explosion, or in general is dangerous by its nature, if the bailor, in its submission for storage, did not warn the bailee of these qualities, may at any time be rendered harmless or destroyed by the bailee without compensation of losses to the bailor. The bailor shall be liable for the losses caused in connection with the storage of such property to the bailee and to third persons.
In case of transfer of property with dangerous qualities for storage to a professional bailee, the rules provided by the first subparagraph of the present Paragraph, shall be applied in the case when such property was submitted for storage under an incorrect designation and the bailee at their acceptance could not by an external inspection establish its dangerous qualities.
In case of compensated storage in the cases provided by the present Paragraph the remuneration paid for storage of property shall not be returned and, if it was not paid, the bailee may recover it in full.
If property indicated in the first subparagraph of Paragraph 1 of the present Article that was taken for storage with the knowledge and consent of the bailee has become, despite the observance of the conditions of its storage, dangerous for those around or for the property of the bailee or third persons and the circumstances do not allow the bailee to demand from the bailor their prompt removal or it fails to fulfill such demand, this property may be rendered harmless or destroyed by the bailee without compensation for losses to the bailor. In such a case, the bailor shall not bear liability to the bailee and third persons for the losses caused in connection with the storage of this property.
