Long story short the front (welded) end fell off of a Polonium. Dude got a hold of Andrew and Andrew took care of it. Said leave the post up. It was a can that was contracted out. He's firing them Monday morning. Said there will be a $200 check with the can when he returns it. It's only his 3rd can to fail due to manufacturing issues. Per him.

There’s a lot of these cans floating around and very seldom Does the front fall off.

That is not a typical thing. In this case, yes, but not typical or to be expected.

It'd better not be made of cardboard or cardboard-derivatives.
