Largest maker of gas cans going out of business

Blitz is facing 42 lawsuits -- most brought by the same three lawyers. Consumers have accused the company of making faulty cans that explode when used to pour gasoline onto fires.
Blitz says its cans carry warnings that say you should never use gasoline to start or accelerate a fire. The company did win a case in Texas but even that cost $2.5 million.
So Blitz says it's shutting its factory doors at the end of this month.

If we would just remove all the warning labels on products then those with no brains would remove themselves from the gene pool. Problem solved.

Think they would have a banner year with all the survivalists stocking up. Leave it to the lawyers to screw things up. How many unemployed?

Finally you get it, and btw, you remind me of a guy named *****. :biggrin:

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Also curious how ***** appeared a week after ***** went away... must just be a coincidence.

Plastic gas containers? I don't think its possible to have a safer or simpler product. WTF?

Stinkin Lawyers.

Static electricity is a problem, but not unique to gas cans. I've seen it on the vehicle too. Its a problem.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
