OT exploding tins

tim... · 2020-06-16T14:55:47+00:00

12 months ago, just before I scrapped the car, I went to the supermarket and bought a number of multipacks of tinned drinksNow I am suffering from these tins spontaneously "exploding" and depositing most of their contents over the floor of the cupboard. (6th one today)The thing is, there's no evidence of a hole in the tin(s)when I find the offending item, it is obvious because it is lighter than the restbut it isn't squashy, and none of the liquid remaining in the tin escapes if I tip it overwhat gives here?

I got three tins in Lidl before the panic buying started, then it vanished but its now back on the shelves in Sainburys.

Catastrophic failure at some pointdue to too much pressure inside, once enough has gone the metal relaxes back and the leak is sealed I'd imagine. You might report this as it sounds somewhat dangerous to me. Brian
