In 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implemented regulations that effectively banned the sale and manufacturing of vented gas cans, primarily due to concerns about emissions. These regulations focused on reducing gasoline vapors from escaping the can when not in use, which could contribute to air pollution. While vented cans were not outright banned, the new standards made it practically impossible for manufacturers to comply while maintaining the traditional venting design
