I have stored paint in garages and barns for years. While not an issue here, allowing the paint to freeze was a bigger issue (freezing destroys the paint). I occasionally check the cans for leakage, and then open the lid to see if the paint has deteriorated. In over 25 years of doing this, I never had a paint can (quart or gallon) leak. Obviously, spray cans are a different issue. The warning label speaks to keeping the spray cans in an area where the temperature is less than 120 deg F. Storing old spray cans in high temp areas after a few years can be messy as one poster noted.
