The product, in the report: Wedco red gas can
My Wedco gas can which I had for about 1 year developed a hole in its lower corner. Due to the new “spill proof” nozzle design, the can isn’t able to be properly vented while not in use. As a result the corner collapses in on itself. The only time this doesn’t occur is when the can is 100% full. Over the 1 year the repeated wear on this corner caused the plastic to fail.
