These bags literally rip open the sides when you open them.

Your baggies now tear when trying to open. Your testers really should take some home and use them for a couple of weeks. About 1 or 2 out of every 5 tear when trying to open them to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We appreciate your feedback, Gail - this isn't something you should expect with one bag, let alone a number of them. So we can make it right, I invite you to call 1-800-558-5252; we're available weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM (CST). Or visit the "Contact Us" link on Ziploc.com to send us an email. Please mention reference number: 017164101A.
We purchased these bags for the marketed "Easy Open Feature" Almost every bag has ripped before we even get to use it...Just opening it out of the box is not "easy!" Then you have so much waste because the only way to open them after that is to pull the bag itself apart. When you have Arthritis that is a painful solution. I will not buy this product again.

Another trusted brand goes cheap - 28 useless gallon freezer

I have used Ziploc freezer bags for very long time. I use them for storage of fish and game that I process for my home. They were always a reliable product until now. The NEW Ziploc Gallon Freezer Bags with Easy Open (should be called Easy Tear) strip are junk. We used a few out of the box without incident and then got into the bad ones. The bags tear just below the blue strip every time you try to open one. I thought, "Gee I guess they got into a bad batch." Then I looked at some things that had recent been stored in the freezer. Three bags evidently had a bad seal because ice crystals had already formed on the meat. So I looked online and found the complaints go back almost 6 months for these bags. Ziploc should have pulled their bad products back from the retailers. I am greatly dismayed as to why a trusted brand wouldn't fully test a product before release and even more surprised they didn't pull the bad product. I guess I have to find a new brand.

Quality remains at the heart of our company, and you should expect every Ziploc® brand Freezer Bag to offer a reliable storage solution. There are a few things that can contribute to the formation of ice crystals, though (like opening the freezer door frequently which can cause temperature fluctuations). We'd welcome the chance to help restore your faith in our brand. When you have a moment to chat, please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 and provide reference number: 017154853A. You can reach us weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM (CST), or connect with us by email via the "Contact Us" link on Ziploc.com.
Have used Ziploc for many years, but the last 2 boxes I have bought tear down the sides when you initially try to open them and if you manage to get them open, resealing them is a lengthy task.

This bag and all of the other new versions I have tried are poorly constructed. The freezer bags, gallon and quart, split down the side when trying to remove them from the box. The plastic is thinner and not as strong as the previous version.

I use these bags in my class room for student storage. I was hoping the easy open tab would be better, but I've had more than 20% tear after minimal use. The kids store their headphones and flashdrives in them and they are constantly tearing.

I have always loved these bags but the new design with the tab is horrible. In the gallon size (quart seems ok) they regularly rip. Redesign needed. Looking for new bag.
