I did a double-take on a spray product in a supermarket yesterday.
There's not much difference in the spelling of purifying and putrefying.
Your nose would soon pick up the difference, though.

Quickly scanning the shelves, looking for metal polish; my eye skipped over this stuff, it registered wrongly. I had to go back and re-read.
