Costco Kirkland flushable wipes settlement is real [Video]

People who bought Costco wipes in New York between 2011 and 2017 could get money from a settlement. It’s unrelated to recent recalls and a baby wipes lawsuit.

Costco made headlines between late June and early July for several lawsuits and product recalls. The retailer was sued by plaintiffs who allege that Costco’s Kirkland Signature-branded baby wipes contain high levels of dangerous PFAS chemicals. It also recalled more than half a million portable chargers. Then, news of a settlement in a class-action lawsuit involving flushable wipes also started circulating.

VERIFY readers wondered if the settlement was real and if it was connected to any other lawsuits or recalls. Searches for a “Costco wipes recall” and “Costco wipes lawsuit” have been popular over the past week.
