Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating widespread consumer safety concerns regarding plastic products marketed as “Microwave Safe” or “Freezer Safe”. These products are often sold with claims that they can be safely used in the microwave or freezer without health risks. However, recent findings suggest that many of these products may actually release dangerous chemicals, such as microplastics, nanoplastics, and toxic substances, when exposed to microwave or freezer conditions.

Misleading “Microwave Safe” and “Freezer Safe” Claims

Plastic products marketed as “microwave safe” or “freezer safe” are often advertised with claims that they can withstand high and low temperatures without any risk of harmful chemical leaching. These claims are frequently displayed on product packaging, advertisements, and online listings, giving consumers the false impression that these products are safe for food storage and reheating.

However, recent lawsuits and scientific studies have raised concerns about the true safety of these products. When exposed to the heat of a microwave or the cold of a freezer, many plastics can release microplastics and toxic chemicals, including:

Bisphenol A (BPA)
Phthalates
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)
Styrene and benzene

Despite knowing the risks associated with such use, many manufacturers fail to adequately disclose these dangers, misleading consumers who believe they are purchasing safe, durable products.
