From the County of Prince William:

Chemical bottle bombs have become an increasing problem in Prince William County. Instructions on how to make bottle bombs can be easily found on the internet, and ingredients are often common household items that can be purchased at a local grocery store. Due to the corrosive nature of the mixture, anyone coming in contact with the materials while manufacturing or discharging the device can sustain serious and long-term debilitating injuries. Permanent injures to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract are common.

The Fire Marshal’s Office reminds everyone that individuals involved with the possession, manufacture, or discharge of chemical bottle bombs will face criminal charges for their actions. Additionally, they will be held responsible for costs associated with any property damage, emergency response and mitigation (police, HazMat, fire and rescue), and clean up.
