Thank you for reviewing Charmin, Rhonda, and we're sorry to learn that there was excess lint in this package of Ultra Soft. We'd like to share that the softness of the tissues is directly related to the amount of lint. The softer the paper, the more lint there may be, however, an excess of lint can build up on the manufacturing line. We regularly shut down our manufacturing lines to remove excess lint that could drop onto products, so that they should reach you in the best possible condition. We'd like to gather some information for our Quality Assurance Team and also try to make things right for you. Please give us a call at (800) 777-1410.
