What happened?! We have been buying these same plates for YEARS! The last batch we bought is horrible! Completely flimsy, doesn't hold much at all anymore...They are so lightweight now they buckle and end up folding in the middle. Doesn't hold half of much as it used too. The price went up recently and looks like the quality went way down.

As of this year Hefty paper plates have began to have some sort of flaking. It has proven quite dangerous and actually is a choking hazard to my family. I will no longer buy these plates that I've purchased for years. It seems like they have sacrificed quality for more profit. Terrible.

I always bought Hefty brand plates. Then they were strong and sturdy. Now they melt in the microwave just heating leftovers. Why the change and still raise the price. I'm disappointed now I'm searching for another brand . Hope theres something out there worth buying!

I’ve bought these hefty foam plates for years and never had a problem until a few years ago when I started noticing on each plate a lot of particles which look like little tiny pieces of the foam plate on top of every single plate…. it’s very scary because it made me wonder if I hadn’t noticed it before and how much of those tiny foam particles my kids and I have unknowingly consumed. When I do purchase these plates it’s annoying because I have to rinse off every single one and dry it before I use it so we don’t eat those tiny foam particles! Come Hefty, you can do better than that and you better hope it’s not going to cause health issues or cancer for people down the road. I have picture and video of a bag of these plates but I won’t post it unless someone asks to see it.

The plates themselves are good - no qualms there. However, there were lots of small pieces of styrofoam in between the plates, so we had to shake each plate out over the trash can before using them. If you weren't careful, you might end up eating some styrofoam.

I rarely do reviews & fought a couple of months to do this one. We pay too much for these plates for the quality to be as it is. Even the ridges around it are almost gone. They are the same quality as your sister store, Wal-Mart. I bought them from Sam's because the quality used to be better than theirs. Heat for 1 minute & it starts to melt now. Now I have to double my plate. I have teens in my home & we're big plastic plate users for years from Sam's. So I know what I'm talking about. Please bring back the quality yall are known for.

These plates USED to be great! What happened? Now the plates are all off centered, have a lot of foam debris. We have to be wiping each one of them before using them just to clear out all the foam off of them. There are some that are too shredded for use. Don't have the time to return them. It's the second package that comes out in this poor condition. We order curbside, so we don't really see what we get u til we get home. Truly disappointed
