Class-action lawsuit filed in California accuses the maker of Ziploc of misleading consumers about the safety of its microwave-safe bags and containers.

Complaint alleges that the plastic in the plastic may release harmful microplastics, potentially exposing millions to toxins over time.

Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments— less than 5 millimeters in size—linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and reproductive problems.

These particles can enter our food, water, and even the air as plastic products break down.

S.C. Johnson responded with a statement denying the allegations.
