Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025

The Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025 repeals two existing federal safety laws: the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 and the Children’s Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. It removes current requirements for portable fuel containers to include flame mitigation devices or child-resistant features. The bill also prohibits the Consumer Product Safety Commission from creating new rules mandating these safety features in the future. This directly affects manufacturers of portable fuel containers and the CPSC, eliminating existing regulatory requirements and preventing new ones.
