Case Name
Pettit v. Procter & Gamble Co.,Case No. 3:15-cv-02150, District Court for the Northern District of California
Case Summary
In one lawsuit (Pettit v. Procter & Gamble Company), the Plaintiff asserts that, although the packaging on the Freshmates wipes states that the wipes are “flushable,” “septic safe,” and “safe for sewer and septic systems,” the wipes are not suitable for disposal by flushing down a toilet, are not regarded as flushable by municipal sewage system operators, do not disperse upon flushing, and routinely damage or clog plumbing pipes, septic systems, and sewage lines and pumps. Plaintiff alleges that P&G is liable for: (a) violations of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Cal. Civil Code §1750 et seq., (b) false advertising in violation of California Business and Professions Code §17500 et seq., (c) fraud, deceit and/or misrepresentation, (d) negligent misrepresentation, and (e) unfair, unlawful and deceptive trade practices in violation of California Business and Professions Code §17200 et seq. In the second lawsuit (Ramcharitar v. Procter & Gamble Company), the Plaintiffs make similar allegations regarding the Freshmates wipe and allege that P&G is liable for: (a) breach of express warranty, (b) negligent design, (c) negligent misrepresentation, (d) failure to warn, (e) violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, Florida Statutes §501.201 et seq., (f) unjust enrichment, (g) violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. §2301 et seq., (h) violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, §805 Ill. Comp. Stat. §505 (2007), (i) tortious breach of warranty, and (j) fraud. Plaintiffs seek to pursue their claims on behalf of themselves and others who purchased the Product in the United States, except for purchases in New York.
P&G denies that there is any factual or legal basis for Plaintiffs’ allegations. P&G contends that the labeling of the Product was truthful and non-misleading. P&G therefore denies any liability. P&G also denies that Plaintiff or any other members of the Settlement Class have suffered injury or are entitled to monetary or other relief.

After using and flushing Charmin wipes, my toilet backed up into my bedroom and walls and shower. I had to call a plumber and had to have the bedroom, bathroom, closet cleaned by a professional. My walls and floors needs to be replaced. Help because I know that these wipes caused this according to the plumber.in
ADMIN – Hi Eunice,
This settlement is not intended to cover plumbing expenses. If you intend to claim those you must hire your own attorney.
I bought this product and got a very bad rash and infection from this product.

This product is not known to cause rashes and infections. The settlement has to do with plumbing issues.

I purchased 2 pack on 1/10/19 at rite aid because it said it was flushable …. $1200 I learnt it got stuck in the sewer line after 2 uses… I still have the full and unused package unfortunately I discarded my rite aid receipt for refund
ADMIN – Hi Evelyn,
You can still file a claim without a receipt.
The claim form does not allow you to fill in the number of packages, the store name or the state. I tried IE10, Chrome and Firefox.
ADMIN – Hi John,
Please report this issue to the class action administrator.
