Bill > S2992

This bill, known as the "Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025", proposes to repeal two existing safety laws: the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 and the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. By repealing these laws, the bill would eliminate current safety regulations that require portable fuel containers to have flame mitigation devices and child-resistant features. Specifically, the bill would nullify any existing Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulations created under these previous acts and prohibit the CPSC from creating new regulations mandating safety devices like flame arrestors or child-resistant mechanisms in gasoline containers. The practical effect would be to remove federal safety standards that were designed to prevent accidental fires and reduce the risk of children accessing and being burned by gasoline containers, essentially giving manufacturers and consumers more flexibility in the design and use of portable fuel containers.
