Essential Safety & Storage Information
Shelf Life: The canister has an exact shelf life of 4 years, with the expiration year stamped on the bottom. While the active ingredients remain effective, pressurized seals weaken over time, reducing the spray range.
Disposal: Expired canisters are classified as hazardous waste and must be taken to a designated local recycling center or outdoor gear exchange program. They cannot be disposed of in standard trash bins.
Travel Limitations: Bear spray is strictly forbidden on commercial aircraft in both checked luggage and carry-on bags due to explosion and contamination risks under pressure.
