S.C. Johnson & Son Inc. falsely markets bags and containers as "microwave safe" and suitable for use in freezers despite knowing they are made from materials that shed into when the products are used as directed, according to a proposed filed in California federal court. (via Law360)

#ForeverChemicals’ – the part of cleaning you don’t want to last

"Notable categories of cleaners that either may contain, or have historically contained, PFAS are:

- glass and hard surface cleaners
- fabric, upholstery, and #CarpetCleaners and treatments
- #waxes and polishes for #floors, #furniture, #cars and #boat vessels
- dishwashing rinse aids
- #AerosolPropellant-based #cleaners and #AirFresheners
- #paints and #coatings.

"Floor sealers and finishes – products that cure into a film once applied – often contain PFAS. During floor stripping and waxing, PFAS concentrations in dust and air particulate matter were one order of magnitude greater than typical residential indoor air and two orders of magnitude greater than outdoor air, according to a 2022 study.

"But now the cleaning products #Industry wants to keep consumers in the dark about the use of these chemicals in their brands. Earlier this month, a bill was introduced in Congress on behalf of leading household cleaning product makers that would deny Americans the right to know about #ToxicChemicals in cleaning products.

"The manufacturer #Reckitt applauded Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) for introducing the bill, which would rob consumers of crucial information about the ingredients in their products. Reckitt makes popular household brands like #Lysol, #Woolite, #AirWick, #Vanish, #Calgon, among many others.

And industry giant #SCJohnson
called for a 'clear federal standard' on disclosing ingredients, knowing any such standard could take a decade or longer. The company manufactures #Glade, #Drano, #Pledge, #ScrubbingBubbles, #Shout and #Windex, along with many other products, including #Ziploc."

When sous viding, you're supposed to vacuum seal your food in a bag, so this probably means using a special bag with either a manual or electric pump.

I am not clever enough to get the manual pump to work well, and I am too cheap to get an electric pump. However, I've had pretty good luck with ordinary Ziploc bags: sealing the bag most of the way, pressing out as much air as I can, and then finishing the seal.

Especially when there are liquids in the bag, I've had a lot of success holding the bag up by its corners, then pressing the bag against the side of the sink so that the liquid displaces the air, all the way to the top of the bag. Could an electric pump do better? Probably. Would it make any measurable difference? Probably not.

A friend told me about this yesterday, so we were able to each get one. I feel like I vaguely remember hearing something but didn't pay attention.

Apparently, sponsors the now, so they have these awesome Safari Sack available. I'm told that you don't have to go on the attraction, and going on the attraction doesn't guarantee you one, 1/2

End of an era

I definitely got my money’s worth out of my old #KindleKeyboard (purchased July 2010). Knew it was a goner several years ago when I tried to trade it in for a $10 credit on a new #Kindle and #Amazon sent it back to me with a “no thanks” note lol

Today the battery gave up the ghost and it’s sadly not worth the cost of a replacement battery (the current models are infinitely better)

p.s. #Cheapskate #Protip: Quart #Ziploc bag makes an excellent waterproof case for any Kindle
