I don't see much of an issue here. I think all that needs to be done is Hefty issuing a disclaimer that the bags themselves are not recyclable on the box and not air misleading commercials about them. Perhaps they should even change the name to "Clear Trash Bags". The bags themselves are fine and very useful. I use them all the time for cans and bottles that I redeem at the supermarket. When I'm done I either take the bag home with me for another use or put it in the trash bin at the supermarket. I also use them for clothing that I store in plastic tubs in my garage. I prefer being able to see through the bag at what's inside so I can easily identify it.
