Condensed milk caramel explosion

I foolishly tried a 1970's crock pot recipe for "silky caramel slices." Hahahahahaha! After 3 hours the dratted can exploded. It took four hours to wash down the ceiling, walls and floor. Sticky dark brown caramel went everywhere. I was using the standard Bordens brand sold in USA. Perhaps they've changed the way they manufacture their cans during the last 20 plus years?
