Donald Trump to make gas cans great again

Lawsuits and design defects in gas cans
It is true that lawsuits have been filed and won against manufacturers of gas cans based on design features, particularly the lack of flame mitigation devices.
One significant design defect cited in these lawsuits is the absence of a flame arrestor. A flame arrestor, typically a small piece of mesh or a disk with holes, is designed to prevent a flame from entering the gas can by absorbing and dispersing the heat energy, thereby preventing flashback explosions. Despite the existence of this relatively inexpensive safety device, many gas cans lacked them, leading to numerous catastrophic injuries and fatalities.
For example, the Blitz gas can lawsuits involved claims that the absence of flame arrestors led to explosions and severe burns, according to SOS Injury Lawyers. Some lawsuits also alleged other defects, such as a lack of proper warnings and the absence of spill-proof spouts.
It is important to note that the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recognized the potential for flashback explosions in gas cans and has advocated for the inclusion of flame arrestors. The CPSC noted in 2013 that flammable vapors could exist in gas containers and ignite, causing explosions. As a result, the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 mandated flame mitigation devices in portable fuel containers, which went into effect in July 2023.
While the act of pouring gasoline onto an open flame is inherently dangerous and constitutes misuse of the product, these lawsuits highlight the argument that manufacturers have a responsibility to design products with safety features that mitigate the risks of foreseeable misuse and potential hazards. The success of these lawsuits has pushed for better safety features in gas can designs to prevent serious injuries from occurring, according to SOS Injury Lawyers.

Retards standing over a fire got burned pouring more gas on it. Darwin rules and lawyers profit.

Ok, I am not defending stupid people, but we need to realize that gasoline looks like water. It's a clear liquid. If people aren't educated, which some aren't, they might think that gasoline works like water. It's not really their fault.

I've watched my husband drop kick those ridiculous gas cans.

My Mom gave him two my grandfather probably bought back around 1970. He's quite pleased

We don't own a gas can because I consider the car empty when the gas gauge gets down to about half full. Hubby of many decades now accepts that about me and fills up at that point.

Out here in the sticks, we have numerous small engines that need fueling...Lawn mower, brush cutter, chain saws, weed whacker, ATV, boat cell needs refilling.

And it ruins foreign diplomacy when there is a seesaw effect on policy.

I agree. Trump set policy in his first term. The Dems should have followed it.

Ah okay. We don't have any of that stuff. Landscaping is xeriscape so nothing needed other than an occasional yard clean up and weed spray service.

Trump should have followed Oblama's policy he set.

I use battery power for most of that stuff.

It's the way of the world.

They are your leaders. Sorry for that.

The DNC are leaders of the dumb nobodies crime syndicate

Boat cells

Quit lying. The inflation during Biden was the result of COVID, which started during Trump, who mismanaged it. Trump is not lowering anything, and Democrats did not increase energy prices.

 

[Paradoxical#1]

Sounds like you have a fetish.

Those are in your party. And those are the best of your sorry tribe.

Us here in Texas have big yards that need to be mowed.

 

[struth]

Is it only me who sees the contradiction in skyrocketing beef prices as a result of supposed lower energy costs?

The price of beer rising isn’t anything new, been going up for 20 years as our herd has gotten smaller

Or, maybe that's what they tell us, when they are simply trying to squeeze ever more profit out of their meat.

Maybe I am just cynical.

Nah they keep track of the herd population

Nobody was forced to buy EV's and oil production is down.

Client Challenge

you might want to re-read that.

Wrong as usual. Government agencies are forced to buy EVs at taxpayer expense.

I was born in Texas and. while I didn't grow up there, I did marry there, had my first child there, and lived there for a number of years. And yes we did own a lawn mower back then. As do our family and friends scattered all over that state.

Very little of Texas apart from the bootheel is high desert though. Albuquerque is.
