floss breaks off, floss shreds, pulls out teeth, hurts gums

I checked "willing to pay for quality" above to describe me because after using DenTek picks my teeth have been ruined.
I thought DenTek offered a good "green" product (not so if they manufacture overseas) and I bought a pack of 90 picks. I used them for the first time tonight. And I agree with the previous reviewer -- I it takes four picks to get all the teeth. By the time I reached four, however, shredded and harsh on the teeth and gums, I "gently" pulled out the floss from between two teeth and my teeth pulled out of place with it!
My teeth hurt and the bite is all wrong.
I want to sue this company because my dental insurance does not cover moving teeth back into place. I am 42 and have very healthy teeth and gums. I have been using dental picks of different kinds for over a year.
None of Dentek's claims are true. They do not slide easily between your teeth. They cut your gums. They are totally inefficient and harmful. Not to mention cheap-looking.
I have to go to the dentist tomorrow for emergency X-rays and to see what she can do for my poor teeth. As for DenTek -- they have a LEGAL AGREEMENT that you must sign on their website if you want to purchase any of their products through the site. What company does that? I have never seen that before! I have never bought a product and had to sign a long legal agreement as to the liabilities. And these are just... minor dental products the company sells.
There is a reason for that legal document you must sign if purchasing on the site.
Why are they trying to protect themselves? Because they make s*** products that can cause permanent damage. Like to my teeth.
Go for the more expensive picks that do not shred and that do not hurt your gums and that do not pull your teeth out. If you have tight teeth, there are those bristle brushes that work very well.
SAVE YOUR TEETH: DO NOT BUY FROM DENTEK!

DenTek Triple Clean Floss Picks is not recommended by jcfalzoi
I forgot to mention: I was never offered a legal agreement when I bought their picks. If I were, I would never have bought them. I really am going to sue them. I can't believe they get good reviews elsewhere.
