What is more likely

The can failed or something in your bag pierced it?

It's always going to be the latter

The latter is more likely. However, in this case, I argue it not to be the fact.


The evidence, supported by the can I submitted to Monster, and the video in the first post clearly shows that the can suffered no punctures.


Also, for the can to leak out, but not explode under the pressure would be near impossible...


Anything that would push the can hard enough for the seal to give way, would naturally be force enough to cause the can to open completely.


I'll stand corrected if you can provide evidence of your theory, that matches the results I have presented...


I'm 100% certain that this can only be explained by a fault in the product.


I'll send them a LBA and see what happens. Thanks for your advice everyone

There's no pressure in your video as it had all gone by the time you got home. It's is quite easy to put a small puncture in the seam and it not explode.

Please show me how!?

Look at this video - Specifically the 9 seconds part. See how little it takes to break the seal without causing any damage.

Could quite easily have been caused by the pins on your phone charger.

I contacted Monster who asked me to return the can to them, which I have done, but they said it passed quality control

It passed quality control? What quality control would this be?

Their cans will probably be made by someone else, so I would want to know exactly what test the carried out to establish that the can has no leak!

Did they film the testing being done? (Probably wise given you are climing damages from them). I would imagine they would have to put the can in some sort of vacuum chamber and it would need to withstand a certain pressure.

But he'd already broke the seal with the ring pull, or are you suggesting the charger did that?

Im suggesting it dosent take much for the seal to be broken without showing any actual signs of damage.

the charger was a portable charger, it had no pins or sharp edges?
The video clearly shows that the ring pull hasn't been lifted. I appreciate you playing devils advocate, but you're not very convincing!

I'm not that convinced either.

I really can't see how it would be easy to break the seal on can whilst in a bag with other loose items, unless the OP sat down on top of the bag crushing the can against something. The balance of probabilities would suggest the seal was broken in the store or there was a weakness in the can. Either way the OP should get the can back, if they can and send an LBA to the store it was purchased from.

Wait, LBA to Boots or to Monster?
