I've sliced my hand a number of times on those @#$%^! fliptop soup cans, despite being VERY careful -- problem is, to hang onto the can without it flying across the room, and still get the damn thing open, your hand winds up in the line of fire for the top as it comes open.

Not very different from the @!#$%! industrial-strength blister packs (I've been cut by a few of those too), tho those usually add insult to injury by placing vital printed info on a card that you must slice all to hell in the process of getting the blister pack open without killing yourself or destroying the other contents.

I've made myself a promise that next time I slice myself on ANY such packaging, I *am* going to find myself a hungry personal-injury lawyer.
