End of Safety Requirements for Fuel Containers

This act repeals existing safety regulations for portable fuel containers, including those designed to protect children. This means manufacturers will no longer be required to implement special safety features like flame mitigation devices or child-resistant mechanisms. Consequently, fuel containers without these safeguards will become available, potentially affecting their price and accessibility, but also user safety.
Key points
Repeal of the requirement for flame mitigation devices in portable fuel containers.
Elimination of the mandate for gasoline containers to be child-resistant.
All previous regulations concerning these safety features are no longer in effect.
