LAWSUITS

By John O'Brien | Jan 21, 2022

SANTA ANA, Calif. (Legal Newsline) - Years-old Federal Trade Commission advice on dog poop bags has spawned a class action lawsuit against one company.



Basheer Bergus, through lawyers at Bursor & Fisher, on Nov. 29 filed a lawsuit against beyondGREEN Biotech in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The company's claims that the bags are compostable are contested in the case.

On their packaging, the bags are alleged to decompose within three to six months.

"Problematically for consumers, these claims are false and misleading. Indeed, the (FTC) has stated that 'compostable' claims on dog waste products are 'generally untrue,'" the lawsuit says.

"More specifically, dog waste cannot be composted because it can contain harmful contaminants (e.g., E. Coli). Even in backyard composting, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cautions that dog waste can contain harmful parasites, bacteria, viruses or pathogens."

Sick of those green bags everywhere in the city... And now it turns out they are just plastic like they look

The claim is that the bag is compostable, the issue seems to be that you shouldn't use the actual dog poo in the compost. So the bags claim could be true.

They're simply saying, dogs are such vile creatures, if you use their feces as fertilizer you deserve to die

Don't cats shyt in a box full of dirt? in their own homes? in open air?

At least canines have the respect and class to take it outside.

 

[It's been real]

I like how DogSet talks mad shyt on some "Y'all gotta touch cat shyt everyday "

Y'all literally getting the feel of shyt in your hand, meanwhile we got a scooper and the cat genie. Having to walk that down syndrome wolf whenever it whines. There's a reason why Muslims fukk with CatSet and don't allow dogs in their homes. Filthy mutts

Litter boxes that aren't cleaned regularly enough can contain buildups of urine and feces, resulting in dangerous ammonia fumes. Ammonia, which is a toxic gas, can cause serious breathing issues and other problems.

This explains why smokes farts makes you faint for hours on end.
