I guess we can blame America's stupid jury panels for awarding enormous

yeh, it's a shame that corporations make defective products and have
to pay the piper.


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.
