Costco has not admitted any wrongdoing in this lawsuit, but has agreed to settle these claims with a $2 million pot, according to Superior Class Shares.
This lawsuit alleged that these wipes were advertised as flushable, but allegedly were not.
This plaintiff alleged that the discharge of this product damaged his pipes, sewer, and other plumbing fixtures.
The suit added that these buyers said they would not have purchased the wipes if they had known the potential outcome.
Only certain buyers of this product are eligible to claim their share of the money.
Customers who purchased these wipes between July 1, 2011 and May 31, 2017 will be able to benefit from this.
These customers must file their claims before August 9, 2024.
This can be done through an online form on the settlement website website.
PAYMENT
Not all eligible customers will receive the same amount of money from the payment scheme.
The terms of the agreement stipulated that each person could receive $1.30 for each package of wipes purchased during that period.
Each class member will be entitled to a minimum payment of $7.50.
Members could claim up to 43 packages and this would make the maximum payout $55.90.
IMPORTANT DATES
Although the last day to file has been set for August 9, there are two other dates that customers should note.
The final date for approval of this agreement is set for August 30th.
How to file a complaint
To receive a settlement payment, you must be a member of the Settlement Class.
To be a member, you must:
- Have purchased the product between July 1, 2011 and May 31, 2017
- Be a consumer, not a commercial entity

To file a complaint:

Costco will identify Settlement Class Members to determine the number of products that were purchased and will issue a check for the appropriate amount using the mailing address on file.

COST-NO
This wasn’t the only lawsuit filed against Costco, US Sun previously reported.
One buyer alleged the wholesaler misled customers with its online prices.
The lawsuit alleged that the store failed to disclose price differences between certain items sold online and in the store.
This proposed class action lawsuit alleged that the total number of alleged damages “exceeds” $5 million.
It’s not just Costco customers who can benefit from lawsuit settlements.
Some iPhone users could win their share of the $35 million prize.
