Customers who bought Costco's Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes between 2011 and 2017 may be eligible for money in a class action lawsuit settlement. The lawsuit claims Costco falsely advertised their wipes as flushable, leading to damaged pipes, septic systems and other plumbing issues amongst customers.
According to Top Class Actions, a legal news website, Costco admitted no wrongdoing. They will pay out $2 million to resolve the false advertising. The website said, "Consumers argue they would not have purchased the wipes if they knew they were not truly flushable as advertised."
Those who bought the wipes in New York between July 1, 2011, and May 31, 2017, are eligible to be class members and have until August 9 to submit their claim. Class members are eligible to receive $1.30 per purchased product, with a maximum payment of $55.90 per household - the equivalent of 43 products.

According to the plaintiff, the wipes caused clogged plumbing and damaged sewage lines, pumps, and septic systems after being flushed. Although Costco says the wipes work as advertised, you may be eligible for cash in the lawsuit settlement.
Customers are only eligible in the class action lawsuit if they purchased the wipes in New York between 2011 and 2017. Those who purchased the wipes in any other state will have an invalid claim.
Consumers must visit this website to submit a valid claim. You do not need proof of purchase to receive the payment, according to Top Class Actions.
The minimum claim awarded to customers is $7.50 per household, with a maximum claim of $55.90.
Top Class Actions reported that Costco is facing another lawsuit related to baby wipes that has yet to be settled.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit say Costco’s Kirkland Signature fragrance-free baby wipes have dangerous amounts of PFAS, yet they have been advertised as being safe for kids. The product is marketed as made with naturally derived ingredients despite allegedly containing PFAS," according to the legal news website.
