Is there actually a federal law banning the “old, good” style of plastic gas cans?

A common gripe among the old farts at gas stations and hardware stores around the country (United States) is that “the damn goverment outlawed the old, good gas cans” and therefore, left us with these leaky safety cans. Was there actually a federal law that banned the old style of gas cans?

It’s not the can or closure valve per se it’s the short spout angled to the can in a way which makes it impossible to pour gas into a car without spilling. There’s a funnel available but that’s just another thing to loose and stinks up the area you’re storing it.
