I used to always use the Ziploc Freezer bags with the double zipper (quart and gallon) to freeze and store food in the refrigerator and freezer. I recently started using the bags with the easy open tabs but the quality of the bags has really depreciated. It seems like every other bag will leak as soon as I put anything with liquid in them. Doubling the bag only works some times. They are leaking from the bottom of the bag and not the zippered area. I'm afraid to freeze raw meat because when it comes time to defrost it, the blood leaks out all over the refrigerator shelves. The plastic also seems more stiff and not as pliant as they used to be.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I understand the need to improve things in our ever changing world but don't fix what isn't broken! Your freezer bags WERE the best on the market. Then you tried to improve what was already a exceptional product. You didn't need 'blue tabs' for opening. They have only created a bigger more glaring problem that you did not have before. Just stick to a quality bag that closes and seals well. Keep a strong ml and be done. Very disappointed! And in that disappointment comes loss of brand allegiance. DON'T FIX WHAT WAS NOT BROKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE

I recently broke my arm and an ice pak saved my sanity! The gallon bag filled 1/2 way with ice stayed locked even after I fell asleep and forgot about it. Thought I would wake up to a flood in my bed but NOPE!! Real happy with this product!
I've used Ziploc products for years and have always been happy with them. But the new tab opening is not good. I've used it on a couple of bag sizes, and in each case the tab tears off usually with the first opening. I hope they will listen to all these complaints and go back to the previous zip lock style. I'm giving fairly high ratings to the below questions . . . because a bag will keep me organized, and protect what's inside with the first use . . . but I'm giving a low rating to Easy to Use . . . because it may be "easier" but I don't like the fact that the tab tears off and then is nearly impossible to re-lock the bag. I would recommend Ziploc products in a minute if they would return to the old style of zip lock.

I have been using Ziploc for many many years, but the current "easy open tabs" are very poorly designed. I have ripped the bags on the seal and on the side on many occasions. It appears that the seal is stronger than the bag. The seal stays shut, but the bag rips. Bad, bad, bad. Can I get a refund or the old bag bck?

I love ziplock products but the easy open tabs storage and freezer bags tabs tear off and its almost impossible to open the bag thereafter. I bought several 75 count quart bags and now I'm stuck with a real problem!

I thought it was something I was doing that the bags kept ripping, now that I have read others with the same problem, I hope you have corrected it, otherwise I will no longer purchase ziploc.
