Largest maker of gas cans going out of business

[speedysst]

No you sue the bucket manufacturer

Why not both? I bet there isnt a warning label anywhere that says "Do not stick your head in this bucket when full of water. Drowning may occur." Like the Emergency Broadcast that told me not to drown in a flash flood.

My father in law lives in Miami Oklahoma where this company is. A bunch of jobs down the drain in a small community... Such a travesty

Good Point.

I really don't understand how juries award money in these cases...

but then again .. juries are full of people too stupid to get out of jury duty...

( yes I know none of us should try to get out of it.. it is a civic duty.. lets not start on this rant..)

I seem to recall my Dad telling me not to dump gas on a fire.. it may explode.. no warning labels needed.

2 problems.

1. lawyers
2. dumb asses

The morality of bullshit lawsuits aside... it would definitely suck if your gas can exploded while 'stoking' the fire.

I have no words. This disgusts me.

I'm telling you, it's too late. "We are up shit creek without a paddle", as my stepdad used to say.

this
it's over
it died
it's been struggling for a long time, but not enough people care

it's dead Jim

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.

Dear average libtard,

i have heard you say the rich and conservatives are responsible for US based jobs being sent overseas... This is how you idiots destroy american jobs. Too much legislation, too many morons, and too much entitlement in our culture.

if you are dumb enough to pour gas on a fire you deserve whatever consequence result. F those 3 POS lawyers

We have become a Nation run by and for Lawyers. Think about it, judges? Lawyers. Politicians? Lawyers. Lobbyists? yup more lawyers.

Tort reform. This is the shit choking out innovation and small business in this country.
