My son, Spencer Molthan, was burned at age 2 over 80% of his body with 3rd degree burns because of his opening of a gas can where the vapors traveled to the hot water heater's pilot light. It was horrific. He was a running ball of fire with shoes. I am very proud Senator Claire McCaskill is the lead supporter for this legislation in the Senate and I will help in anyway I can.

Keep your Children away from the Gas cans or Don't have Gas cans around...Does any one in this country have any common sense left...I grew up around these gas cans and I never heard of anything like this before. I also didn't need bars on windows because I just knew as a child I wasn't going to jump out of it...Give me a Break.
