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

Question

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?

Answer 1

There was.

Someone stole my old can from my shed and the new one leaks gas all over my hands, mower, grass.
