Leaking Gas Cans Recalled by No-Spill
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with No-Spill LLC announced a voluntary recall of the No-Spill 5-gallon Gasoline Cans. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
The gas containers can leak fuel at the black plastic collar where the spout connects to the can, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers. The 5-gallon gas cans are made from heavy-duty red plastic and carry date codes AIP09202 through AIP09222. The date code is located on the bottom of the can. Not all cans in this date range are affected.
These cans are sold at Lawn & garden stores nationwide, hardware retailers and online from August 2009 through November 2009 for about $30. Consumers should test their gas cans to determine whether they leak and immediately stop using the leaky cans. Consumers should contact No-Spill to receive a free replacement.
