Why do the bottles have to be clear? Couldn't the torch fuel be just as effective (or more so) in a black or opaque container? In my opinion, there should be a LARGE warning on the front, including a skull & corssbones perhaps, to warn everyone of the fuel's danger. It's awful to think of one of my own children picking up a bottle such as these, hoping to quench their thirst, and instead chugging this deadly fluid. Maybe the lids to these containers should be more jar-like, we woman can't ever get those pesky jar lids open; they even make grippers & gadgets to make it easier for us, and at times even those don't work. I'm sure a toddler would have a hard time with a lid like that as well!! (Just my 2-cents!)
