Oh lol, this is actually worse than I thought. I thought you made the bag out of something that is *theoretically* degradable (e.g. in soil with water) but just doesn't degrade in practice. It sounds to me like you are calling this 99% biodegradable based solely on the cardboard, because the plastic is a negligible share of the weight.
Even then, I'm not sure how you get to 99%--the frame is metal, right? I would assume it is more than 1% of the weight of the product but maybe I'm wrong. How much does each component weigh, and how biodegradable is it?
if the bag itself is just some non-degradable plastic like PE, then yes I would say this is a very misleading, if technically true, claim. You could make an equally biodegradable product by just selling a regular plastic bag with the dog poop already in it! "Pre-filled!"
You know very well that this is not what people are looking for when they are looking for an environmentally friendly bag. That's as true in 1985 as it is today. Can you explain why you think this isn't deceptive?

I am a huge fan of your compositions for Arcane, honestly it is a large part of what makes the series so good.
While composing for Arcane, what character did you enjoy evoking or composing for in your music? Also did you watch the full 9 episodes after they were completed and if so how was the experience different when you watched it then?
Thank you so much for doing this, I have so much respect for you and the other people who worked on Arcane.

At the time the claim was made did you do any research or confirmation that the bags were biodegradable? "I stopped making deceptive claims," is different than, "My claim was true."

that claim was dropped years ago, as it really had no strategic importance.

Cool so on your instructions I just read every comment you've posted. You never once cite a source for any study or research that shows your bags were biodegradable. So how did you know the bag was biodegradable?

How do you know that it was biodegradable? What studies are conducted?

if you wish to be absolutely technical it was true 99% and is true by weight. None-the-less, I stand by everything I say and claim.

How was it accurate then? Under what conditions?
How can you claim your never made that claim when you keep repeating the claim?

So... What methods and research did you go to confirm your product was biodegradable? Under which conditions are the biodegradable?
You keep saying they are biodegradable and at the same time saying you dropped the claim, then saying you still stand by it.
So once and for all, show us your work.

If the claim was exactly accurate, then what did it mean specifically? Is it 99% by weight or by volume or what? Under what conditions do the bags degrade, and how long does it take?

Wow it is a easy thing to do, cuz I think most (or quite a lot of) people need a theorist to release their emotions. So to be able to feel those emotions and examine it, it says a lot about…your sign♓️I mean your gift😆

Here is exactly what I can say. 99% biodegradable was exactly accurate when I employed the term. When I first learned I need to change the nomenclature was from a large customer who received the notice from the irresponsible Asst. DA before I even received a courtesy note/letter/email/phone call.

Why make the claim in the first place if it wasn't true? Why does it take the threat oh legal action for you to not falsify?

I'm interested in the idea that these bags are more sanitary than other dog bags. Your website mentions 'bacterial pass-through.' As far as I am aware, touching dog feces through a plastic bag does not put anybody risk of contact with bacteria passing through the plastic.
Can you substantiate the idea that bacteria can migrate through the plastic bag? If you say that your scoop "saves lives", surely you can provide statistics on how many people get sick and die from bacteria transmitted through a plastic bag?
