What is the Cottonelle Flushable Wipes Class Action Lawsuit About?
A $13,500,000 class action lawsuit has been settled with Cottonelle Flushable Wipes over allegations that its products were tested to contain certain bacterium. After conducting a national product recall and initiating product testing, the detection of bacteria known as Pluralibacter gergoviae was stated to be contained in some of the Cottonelle flushable wipes.
Kimberly-Clark Corporation, which makes and markets the popular toilet paper brand Cottonelle, has agreed to settle the flushable wipes class action lawsuit, but has not admitted to any wrongdoing. The court has not determined whether any party is right or wrong in the class action settlement.
