The gears have come out of alignment. One of them is bent, and they both have a bit of slop due to age. That causes one out of every 10-15 cans to fall over in the labeler. My solution was to add a zip tie bumper. It causes the cans to get jammed up for a second, but they no longer get knocked over, and it also fixed the issue with labels going on at a bit of a slant due to the cans entering the labeler while rocking back-and-forth.
