Labor costs would dictate a sizable price increase from the current Chinee product. I would quess at least 75% from current levels after everything shakes out. However they could let advertisers put logos on the canopener to defray increased costs thereby negating the need to increase retail prices.

People with extra can openers, like me, would flood eBay and thereby satisfy the demand. Newlyweds would then be able to plan for the future knowing that pork & beans would still be on the menu when the economy goes belly-up.
