Review on Hefty Load & Carry Heavy Duty Contractor Large Trash Bags: 42 Gallon - 26 Count for Efficient Waste Management! by Dawn Mattheis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

FRAGRANCE but the label is tiny and invisible

I love those nice thick bags BUT......I kept wondering why me every time I removed from the box or bag was sick and had a headache. I have mild asthma and am sensitive/allergic to most smells ie. Lavender, perfume, eucalyptus, "odor blockers", etc. Some scents are good, like vanilla and citrus. It's not about whether I like the smell or not, it's about my body's reaction or lack thereof. In any case, I'm very careful when choosing "Unscented" or at least products that don't have a scent label. In the end I decided to double check the bin liner box for the smell label and found it on the bottom of the box. Very small if you ask me and there is no picture or mention when buying online. If you can't see it, it says "May contain a slight odor". I plan to contact Reynolds. I'm posting this because I've experienced the same lack of more prominent branding with other brands like Solimo. An allergic reaction is no joke. While I'm confident that companies are complying with their legal requirements, I believe disclaimers shouldn't be that difficult. Hope that helps.

Pros
  • Paper and plastic
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
