Costco might owe you money.
As part of a class action lawsuit, Costco has been ordered to pay $2 million to customers who purchased Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes between July 1, 2011, and May 31, 2017.
The lawsuit says the retailer claimed the wipes were flushable but the product allegedly caused “damage to pipes, septic systems, sewage lines and other plumbing.”

The settlement states the consumers wouldn’t have bought the wipes in the first place if they knew that they weren’t flushable.
