Ziploc Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its ‘Microwave Safe' Labeling
A class action lawsuit is accusing Ziploc's parent company, S.C. Johnson, of misleading consumers by labeling its plastic bags as 'microwave safe' and freezer-friendly. The suit claims the bags contain polyethylene and polypropylene, which may shed microplastics when heated or frozen, posing potential health risks to users. Plaintiffs argue that consumers were unknowingly exposed to microplastics due to deceptive labeling, and experts warn this highlights broader concerns about plastic use in everyday food is in hot water over what some consumers call deceptive advertising. On May 8, About Lawsuits reported that Linda Cheslow, a California resident, has filed a class action lawsuit against Ziploc's parent company S.C. Johnson & Son Inc., explicitly stating that some of its Ziploc bags have the potential to release microplastics under "extreme temperatures," including when they are placed in a microwave or the freezer, as they are made with polyethylene and polypropylene, both of which are petroleum-derived products. The complaint noted that Ziploc markets its Ziploc bags and containers as 'Microwave Safe' and suitable for 'Freezer' use, which the suit says creates the "reasonable impression that they are fit for use in the microwave and freezer." It added, "In reality, these products are made from polyethylene and polypropylene — materials that scientific and medical evidence shows release microplastics when microwaved and frozen — making them fundamentally unfit for microwave and freezer use." The complaint noted that consumers relied on these "false misrepresentations" and "unwittingly exposed themselves and their families to undisclosed microplastics during routine kitchen practices." Related: Your Favorite Gum Is Shedding Microplastics, According to a New UCLA Study The specific products mentioned in the complaint include the company's Freezer Bags in pint/small size, quart/medium, and gallon/large, Ziploc Slider Freezer Bags in quart/medium and gallon/large, Ziploc Slider Storage Bags in quart/medium and gallon/large, and Ziploc Containers. The complaint also included multiple images of the products with the wording "microwave safe" clearly printed on the label. As Food & Wine previously explained, microplastics are defined as tiny plastic pieces less than five millimeters in size. They're found nearly everywhere — including in the human heart. One study even estimated that 170 trillion plastic particles are floating in the ocean right now. While research on how these microplastics affect us is ongoing (though some studies do show that microplastics can damage human cells), it will likely be impossible to avoid all microplastics, no matter how hard you try. Related: Your Tea Bag Is Likely Releasing Billions of Microplastic Particles, According to a New Study 'Microplastics are currently hard to avoid entirely, as they are present in our food, water, and air," Kelly Johnson-Arbor, MD, a toxicologist at MedStar Health, shared with F&W. 'We currently do not know the toxic dose of microplastics for the human body, nor do we fully understand how the body absorbs, processes, and eliminates these particles.' Still, there are a few key steps you can take to at least minimize exposure. This includes swapping out plastic cutting boards, which can shed millions of microplastics, for wood, avoiding plastic takeout containers whenever possible (and never, ever placing them in the microwave), and choosing to store your leftovers in glass or metal containers instead of plastic products (which is where this lawsuit really comes into play). One more thing you can try is to eat lots of colorful fruits and vegetables, which one study shows can help protect your cells against microplastic damage. Food & Wine has contacted S.C. Johnson and will update this story with any statements we receive. Read the original article on Food & Wine

Clairo review – charming pop-soul from a singer with starpower to spare
Charm, the third album from 26-year-old US singer-songwriter Clairo, was one of last year's best: 1970s-skewing pop-soul where you could almost sense the warmth of the era's wood, velvet and corduroy. Played live on this sold-out tour, the lounge-lizard feeling intensifies as her band perform on what looks like an epically proportioned sofa, backed by an elegantly glinting feature wall. Clairo sweeps around in front of this bold interior decoration with a carefree second-mimosa energy, saying that she and her band are in 'such high spirits' and admiring her 'crazy' teen and twentysomething audience. Truth be told, this seated crowd, given to carefully filming each song on phones or fashionably ancient digital cameras and sometimes both, isn't exactly wild. But giddy admiration gushes from them, and there's a big, fierce singalong for early single Bags, particularly on its clever line about a battle of wits between lovers: 'Can you see me using everything to hold back?' The screams intensify with a top note of disbelief as Clairo introduces Steeeam. It's the first live airing for this song dating back to her 2020 side project Shelly, but this peppy and pleasant dream-pop feels a bit inconsequential compared with the strong, sophisticated Charm material: having broken through in her teens and charted her whole youth in music, it feels like she is now truly hitting her stride. Her songs are given extra weight by her terrific band, including multi-instrumentalist Hailey Niswanger. Her flute and saxophone soloing conjure the album's 70s mood, but it's such spirited playing – including a positively raucous sax meltdown to close out Partridge – that it never seems like twee nostalgia. With big organ lines and bigger sofa, the band also bring to mind Stereolab and their Space Age Bachelor Pad Music. The jump in quality between Steeeam and, say, the funkily headstrong Add Up My Love is a mark of how far Clairo has come in a relatively short time, from insular bedroom ditties to this more mature sound, lavish staging, front rows at last week's Paris fashion week and a kind of tentative extroversion. Even the older material gets swept up in this self-confidence, with the Strokes-y garage rock riff of closing song Sofia ringing out at huge new-wave proportions. At Eventim Apollo, 14 March; Glasgow Academy, 16 and 17 March; and Manchester Apollo, 19 and 20 March.
