If your scrutinize all the text there's a hint that these are not genuine Hoover bags - "OEM compatible" a rather inscrutable message. None the less, the Genuine Hoover package is shown, but you'll get some 3rd party knock off that is a thinner bag material.  I didn't read the reviews - for god's sake, it's a $5 package of vac bags clearly pictured as Genuine Hoover - I've had my fill of exploding-in-the-vacuum 3rd party bags, the genuine article isn't that much more. Shame on Amazon for continuing to allow misleading marketing, although there was a prompt no-cost refund, this shouldn't be necessary.
