Safety Tips for Ring Pull Cans

Ring pull cans require extra care because of the exposed sharp edges, which can result in a cut on your hand.

Avoid cuts and follow these safety tips

• Make sure you lift the ring up vertically and break the seal. Then, while holding the can firmly, peel the lid towards you.

• Using a gadget available from hardware stores makes opening easier, and helps keep your hands well away from sharp edges.
