I bought this product like a couple months ago because the other bags that we were using Glad stopped making/producing them and its really really dumb that glad stopped making the other bags and they were really good they never broke never leaked nothing but as soon as glad stopped making the worlds worst trash bags everything just went terrible the " leak protection and leak guard " bags would always leak no matter what and yesterday my son went to take he trash out the strings broke then we put everything in to a new bag and it was drenched the floor was soaked in whatever was wet inside of the bag and when my son brought the bag down to the dumpster it broke the trash barely made it into the dumpster as a matter of fact on the way down it got his shoes and end of his pants soaked in whatever was in the bag that was wet and the food that got thrown away had molded because it was absoulutely soaked.

Did the size change?
We have used Glad Force Flex tall kitchen bags for years and years. The past 2 boxes have contained bags that are just enough smaller that they will not anchor to the top of the trash can. Extremely aggravating to have to hold the bag so it doesn't slip down inside the can. Why the size change? Hidden price increase?

Not very good
I bought 2 boxes of 130 13 gallon force flex bags. I am almost done with the first box and every single one has ripped. I do not over fill, actually they are pretty light but today I went to take my bag outside and the whole top ripped off ! I thought they use to have red ties these are black .. All I can say is I feel like I would have been better with generic bags. I try not to say bad things but these are really bad and when you wind up with spaghetti all over you at 5:15 pm after a long day ... So so unhappy , They all seem to be ripping on the white stretchable part. Not sure what is different but I will be opening the other box this week and I am praying that this was just a defective box !

huge disappointment
I bought a box of these, (my man wanted "better" trash bags, as I have always bought the hannaford brand which I like), thinking that Glad would be better, stronger, and with supposed "leakguard"...... NEVER AGAIN. These trash bags seem like they were made of tissue paper! they are NOT a useful size, even though they are "force flex" they are small. They also tear SOOOO MUCH MORE EASILY then my go to hannaford bags. We now are the proud owners of 120 of the WORLDS MOST USELESS TRASH BAGS! We have been consiquently been using them for our recycling to get rid of them. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Terrible
These have got to be some of the worst bags you make. I have always used the drawstring bags and could even use them in our compactor without worry of tearing or leaking. Not these. Just in our regular trash these get holes and leak horribly. Will not be buying these again and then force flex ones are just as bad!

New ‘leak guard' is terrible
I have been using your kitchen bags for years. Totally dependable. Now you have newly designed bags with ‘leak guard' protection. I Have to say that they are terrible! I had hardly anything in the bag and my fingers went through the bag when I was trying to use the drawstring. I am not alone in this opinion. Please look at Target's reviews. These bags are useless. Why change a great bag?

I'd like to know how Glad defines STRONG.
I purchased a 150 count box of these "guaranteed strong" bags from a wholesale store a couple of months ago. Since then I have had 80% of the bags rip apart and need to be double or triple bagged. I use these in my kitchen garbage can which is rather small-it fits underneath my sink. The daily refuse consists of little more than wrappers, items that cannot be recycled and occasional food waste that cannot be processed by my garbage disposal. I am shocked that I am having this issue and am hoping that it is just a batch defect of some sort because I have had good luck with Glad products in the past 25 or so years of use. I've noticed quite a few reviews on here expressing similar sentiment. I hope Glad addresses these issues to improve their product and maintain customer confidence and loyalty.
Sorry to hear that! We understand that can be frustrating. Please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-835-4523 Monday-Friday, between 9am-5:30pm EST if you have any other questions or concerns.
Fcflex tall Kitchen Bags 13 gallon
I estimate approximately 30-40 percent failure of bags. When I place bag in can, they tend to tear as I stretch around rim. Other failures seem to occur when the drawstrings tear out as I attempt to secure and tie the drawstrings. I would definitely not purchase these bags again. This is the 140 bag box so I only have about another 100 to endure. This has been a disappointing product. The id on box is GA15 133 0444
Defective bags
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a loyal customer of Glad trash bags. For the first time ever I've encountered a problem with a mega pack of 120, 13-gallon bags. Each bag has a problem with the drawstring. Seems the drawstring is partially attached to the bag and when you pull it, the drawstring completely detached from bag. How can I get this box replaced?

They used to make me Glad but now they make me sad
I have been using Glad Tall Kitchen Trash Bags forever. I use either the easy tie or the handle tie, which I don't even see listed here. A few months ago I noticed the box of bags I purchased seemed different. They used to rarely ever rip, but almost every bag in the box did. I thought maybe I got an off box but now I've purchased 2 boxes since and sad to say, Glad has somehow managed to make a great trash bag into a horrible trash bag. I haven't changed the garbage I make, so this one's on you, Glad. I just now pulled the bag out of the can to take to the curb and it ripped spilling coffee grounds all over. I had to double bag it in order to take it out without leaving a trail coffee grounds, and whatever else, behind me. This is becoming a daily occurance, and who's got the time, money, or patience for that? Not cool. It looks like I'm not the only one who has noticed. Did you really think we wouldn't, Glad?
