The Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025 would repeal two federal laws that set safety standards for portable gasoline containers: the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 and the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. These repealed laws currently require safety features like flame mitigation devices (designed to prevent fires from spreading through container openings) and child-resistant caps on gas cans. The bill would also eliminate any regulations the Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued under these laws and would prohibit the agency from creating new regulations requiring these safety features in the future. The legislation affects anyone who purchases or uses portable fuel containers, including homeowners, landscapers, and others who rely on gas cans for equipment and vehicles. No specific funding or implementation timeline is specified in the bill.
