Never knew the name of those damned cans and googling it says company is going broke:
I've said before that when the people in the EPA who mandated them die and go to hell they should have to spend eternity pouring gas on the hell fires from these cans.
The article claims Blitz is going out of business because they can no longer afford liability insurance.
I guess we can blame America's stupid jury panels for awarding enormous settlements.
....or greedy health insurance companies who continue to increase premiums cuz the profits are jes not enough!! ;)

Look around. See all the obese "eggs with legs" people. See all the "eggs" riding the obesemobiles around Walmart? These ticking fatbombs are just one french fry away from a coronary event.
I'm not an insurance company but if I was, I would not want to be forced to insure these fatasses.
Yet, yer nick is "Chubbs". Hah!!

yeh, it's a shame that corporations make defective products and have to pay the piper.
you never miss a chance to bring your penis fetish into the discussion, do you?
Unfortunately, it is not always a defective products so much as failure to read and follow instructions or using the product for a use not intended. Much too easy to get a big payday for being stupid.
What exactly was defective about the previous versions of gas cans?
Why is it the gas can manufacturer's fault when some numbnutz fills the tank on a hot lawnmower engine?
Or pours gasoline on a smoldering brush pile?
The spill proof cans are only spill proof when not in use, e.g. you just tip it over. When you go to use them is when you tend to spill. No pressure inlet causes blurping when pouring and having to push the valve to keep it open often leads to spilling. It also might take 5-10 minutes to pour the contents of a 5 gallon can into your car gas tank.
