All the bags have a streak several inches from the top below the drawstring. It is like a perforation. The bags hold together when opening and putting in can, but once full of trash the extra pressure tear the bag just below the full mark spilling trash all over when removing bag from can. Have to empty when bag is half full and defective part is below drawstring so you can't use it. I didn't like the Force Flex bags anyway, because they seem to be weaker. This is an obvious defect that was not caught by quality control. (if they have a quality control) Also, the contact link on the Glad.com website was not working. User's recommendation: Go with Hefty.
