On Sept 30, 2015, I went into my garage to get a Coke from the package that I had purchased from CostCo. I reached in and grabbed one and then I reached in to grab another. Before I could grab a third, the can in my hand exploded, sending coca cola into my face, into my eyes and hair and all over me and all over the garage. I was stunned and didn't realize what had happened until I looked at the can I was holding. The center of the can was splayed open.

I went to open a can of Signature Select seltzer water and the can exploded with a huge bang and the tab exploded upward out of the can and bruised and cut my palm

Cut my fingers opening an Open Water aluminum can. Product is made by openwater.com.

A can of Illy ground espresso exploded as I slowly opened the can. I didn't remove the lid completely because it was very difficult to open. The coffee exploded into my face, hair, kitchen counter and all over the floor. I was not seriously injured, but coffee was over me and I had to rinse my eyes.

I was drinking from my Miir water bottle and I didn't realize that the top had came apart and the plastic parts fell into the water bottle and ended up in my mouth when I took a swig. This is a severe choking hazard and fortunately I didn't swallow the pieces from the top that came apart. This is the second time this has happened, the first time I contacted the company, Miir and they sent me a new top and I thought it was a onetime incident. But this is the second time this has happened and it is clearly a defect in the product manufacturing that has the potential of causing severe injury. The first time I dropped the bottle, not on the top but the bottom, and the most recent time their was no dropping and no reason for the plastic top to just come apart. The first time this happened I did choke on the plastic but was able to spit it out. I am fortunate I didn't suffer any injury but someone could.

I took 3 cans of Manor Hill IPA out of the refrigerator, 15 minutes later when I was in another room, I heard what sounded like gun shots or fireworks within my apartment. The 3 cans exploded sending beer and metal all over. If I, or anyone else, was nearby we could have been seriously hurt. Needless to say there was a huge mess to clean. I contacted the company and they said "I can tell by the image you attached those cans have our old label on it, which means they are quite old". Thats was the last I heard fom them.

I was opening an Illy Forte can with the can tab and the can exploded, rapidly letting out gas and coffee grounds. I was standing over the can with my eyes open and the coffee grounds were sent right into my eyes, all over my face, and onto the ground around me. I immediately got to my kitchen sink and washed out my eyes with water for about 5 minutes until I could no longer feel coffee grounds in my eyes.

I recently purchased a case of Miller Lite Beer, which has a new " punch top" open tab, the problem occurs if the pull tab snaps off which is not difficult to do, mine fell off with no effort or action initiated by myself. when this tab comes off it exposes a razor sharp edge which can very easily slice the tongue or lips when drinking from the cans open orifice, trust me, someone is going to suffer injury maybe serious while drinking this beverage and especially if they have not been drinking responsibly.
