Oak Hill produced a line of plastic plates, bowls and utensils made from non-foam polystyrene. The products were typically packaged in polypropylene film or low-density polyethylene film. Oak Hill marketed both the products and the packaging as recyclable. The FTC alleged that only a few recycling facilities nationwide would accept the materials Oak Hill was marketing as recyclable.
