It seems this is the sort of question that always has plenty of 'yes & no' answers.
This same question was first asked on ThriftyFun in 2006 and had about the same type of answers all the way to 2021.
Everyone should remember that companies make items for specific uses and will not usually recommend them to be used for other purposes.
I especially liked the answer presented by m2 - 12/4/2021.

Some links that are being presented seem to be from many years ago (some from 2004?) and may not really be relevant in 2022, but this may be a question that everyone will need to answer for themselves as that is the person responsible for any safety/health issues that may arise.

This one is from 2004:

Here are some modern links that seem to be saying it is safe to use oven bags as long as they are used inside the crockpot.

Looks like many current sites are stating brand name oven bags are safe to use inside your crockpot.

Although there are people who don't recommend using an oven roasting bag in a slow cooker, citing a representative of a roasting-bag manufacturer who said "they don't recommend using the bag in a slow cooker, because the bag might come in contact with the heating element, melt and damage the cooker." www.chron.com/.../Heloise-Don-t-use-oven-roasting-bag...

A crockpot is more or less the same as a slow cooker except for its name and some slightly updated functions. A crock-pot, unlike a slow cooker, also has heating elements on all sides of the insert rather than just the bottom. Most crock-pots use a ceramic pot.This means that the heat is applied on all sides rather than just the bottom allowing for gentler heat distribution. Therefore, you can use the oven roasting bag in your crockpot.

Yes, you can add cream of chicken soup to the oven bag. You can use oven bags in your crockpot in the same way as you would in your oven.

Yes, you can. Oven bags can withstand higher temperatures than a crockpot can reach.

It is not recommended that you use any type of bag in a crock pot, except those that are made for crock pots. There is a reason why they are different, starting with it being made for certain temps that will not harm pot and food through it's slow lower cooking temps.
