Yeah, the whole Pyrex nonsense put me off of buying anything Pyrex. I can't trust them, so I won't buy them.

I think your statement would be equally valid if you'd said "immoral" as well.

Yes very much done with the pyrex brand -- mine have sat for 20 years or so in their boxes collecting dust as a reminder that if something obvious is missing from the package advertising, it might not be an oversight.

Certainly for some companies that have figured the loop holes and found wriggle room in regulations, immoral is perfectly fine if it means they get more profit or just easier for them.
