That's correct ... I did get them from Amazon.com, so had to live with what I got. I removed the gasket and cleaned all the over spray off carefully with some carb cleaner on a rag and on Q-tips. Worked well - cut the over spray easily.

The PureOnes I got indeed had the gasket groove very close to the outer edge of the can, which definitely makes it more susceptible to any over spray. If your inspection of PureOnes on the shelves don't show any over spray, then maybe the issue has indeed been fixed, or there was a batch that came out with over spray.
If I get one with over spray, then I'll just clean it up before installing. But it would be nice if Purolator knew that customers notice QA issues like this.
