Petition Action

ban the use of the key and deathspike on tins of corned beef.

Petition Details

Force corned beef manufacturers to use normal tins like other canned good instead of this outdated, dangerous deathtrap.

Additional Information

In the year 2020 I cannot fathom how we are still allowing corned beef manufacturers to get away with something that was brought in during war times. A product that has a key on to open is probably sensible if you are knee-deep in god-knows-what on the front lines of a trench fighting for King/Queen and country, but now we should have collectively moved on from this dangerous, awkward fingerslicer. It is ridiculous that this has been allowed to carry on for so long. Change it.
