Tags will be stripped out in microdata by default, yes, but not the
newlines from your HTML code. Thus, in JSON you would get the value:
\n10 litre\nrectangular bucket\nfingerprint-proof stainless\n

That said, it's something consumers might be able to cope with by cleaning
it up, http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets for example
seems to be able to display it correctly.
