According to the Coca-Cola website they developed the cans with pull tabs in 1964.

The change to push tabs was driven by the US after the manufacturers were pressured to change how the tabs work by concerned individuals.

The problem with the old system was that it left small pieces of very sharp metal scattered about by inconsiderate litterers. These were causing damage to children and animals.

Actually the "stay tab" was invented in 1976 however it was not widely used until the early 1980's.

For a brief time a "push tab" or "press button tab" was used in the late 1970's, this had two small round openings you pushed one then the other but the holes were so small people were scraping their fingers. The "stay tab" is still used today after 30 years of wide use.
