Customers who purchased Costco's Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes between 2011 and 2017 may be entitled to compensation in a class action lawsuit settlement. Costco has agreed to pay $2 million to resolve claims that the wipes were falsely advertised as flushable, causing damage to pipes and septic systems. Consumers argue they would not have bought the wipes if they knew the truth. Those who bought the wipes in New York between July 1, 2011, and May 31, 2017, have until August 9 to submit a claim and could receive up to $55.90 per household. To be eligible, customers must have purchased the wipes in New York during the specified time frame. Costco faces another class action lawsuit related to baby wipes allegedly containing dangerous chemicals despite being marketed as safe for children.
