Wal-Mart keeps selling exploding gas cans

Wow, this seems callous even for Wal-Mart. They and their vendor have been told these cans are a hazard and their answer seems to be "no they're not."

Maybe the economic slump has them feeling cocky, as more folks are compromising shopping "morals" to save a few bucks. Then again, their revenue has been up, but I haven't seen the numbers on their profit... are they being so promotional to drive market share and same store sales comp that they are sacrificing a hefty chunk of margin?
