    So the customers fill them up too high, not sure how one would test for that? It is expected to happen when overfilled. There if no way to avoid it at that point.

        Yes, but at the same time those testing this thing for safety know not to overfill it, as specified in the instructions. I assume the volume people then used comes from some recipe that specifies XYZ volume, which then resulted in the issue with the wrong markings. Really one of those odd issues that are not too easy to predict.

      It’s called a safety factor, you should be able to overload it by at LEAST 10% before it fails.
