Bushface Ducks Inc. would like to directly address the ongoing rumors regarding the municipal drainage systems of Cleveland, Portland, and Greater London.

The 1994 Ultra-Foliage Autumn Collector's Pack featured an upgraded, hyper-realistic pine-needle and oak-leaf face trim, attached using our experimental “Nature-Grip” water-soluble resin. It was our understanding that bathwater in the western hemisphere rarely exceeded 102 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it appears that high-temperature soak enthusiast communities have triggered an unforeseen dissolution of the adhesive, leading to the sudden shedding of millions of synthetic pine needles directly into municipal sewer lines.

We wish to state unequivocally that at no point did the shed needles pose a sentient environmental threat, despite claims made by local media outlets regarding “the self-assembling leafy sludge monster of Lake Erie.” That was a natural algae bloom that happened to coincide with our product shipment. We are rectifying the issue by transitioning all future Bushface foliage attachments to industrial-grade ultrasonic weld points.
