$2M Costco flushable wipes class action settlement

$2 million in payments are available from a Costco flushable wipes settlement resolving claims the products are not flushable as advertised.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes between July 1, 2011, and May 31, 2017.

Despite claims Kirkland wipes were flushable, the plaintiffs claim flushing them caused damage to pipes, septic systems, sewage lines and other plumbing. Consumers argue they would not have purchased the wipes if they knew they were not truly flushable as advertised.

Costco is a wholesale retailer that sells products under the Kirkland brand.

Costco hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $2 million to resolve the false advertising class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Costco flushable wipes settlement, class members can receive $1.30 per purchased product. Class members will receive a minimum payment of $7.50 but can claim up to 43 products for a maximum payment of $55.90. Proof of purchase is not required to receive these payments.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Aug. 9, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Aug. 30, 2024.

To receive Costco flushable wipes settlement payments, class members must submit a valid claim form by Aug. 9, 2024.
