I was wondering.
When the power went out last month, I went out to buy an extra gas can. There was this huge, bizarre warning label printed on the side. (something like “good parents don’t use gasoline to start a fire”).
These labels usually let me know that, however strange the warning, there’s some idiot out there who did something incredibly stupid and then sued.
I was buying antifreeze the other day, next to the antifreeze were gas cans, prominently displayed on gas cans “gasoline and fire do not mix”- well DUH any moron knows gas and fire do not mix. Then it occurred to me that many morons are really maroons and need to be warned of this fact.
I have a number of their yellow Diesel cans. Though the risk oassociated with Diesel storage and transfer is much less than that of gasoline, the same warning is molded into the side of the “can” under the word “Diesel”.
Why the Largest Maker of Portable Gas Cans is Going Out of Business (Short answer? - Stupid people and the lawyers that represent them.)
