Bill > HR1345

This bill seeks to repeal two existing safety laws related to portable fuel containers: the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 and the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. By doing so, the bill would eliminate current safety regulations that require flame mitigation devices in portable fuel containers and child-resistance features on gasoline containers. Specifically, the legislation would nullify any existing regulations created by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) under these previous acts and explicitly prohibit the CPSC from creating new regulations mandating flame prevention devices or child-resistant mechanisms for portable gasoline containers. The bill, named the "Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025," appears to be aimed at reducing government-imposed safety standards on fuel containers, potentially giving manufacturers more flexibility in design and potentially reducing production costs, though this could also potentially increase safety risks for children and users of these containers.
