I have used this item
I used them and didn’t realize they were the reason I had to call a plumber after my toliet backed up until they were attached to the plumber’s line coming back out of pipes😣
I live on a septic and was told these were flushable.
ADMIN – Hi Gay,
Flushable and septic-safe are two very different things.
I would like to receive a more information
Regarding this Settlement.
ADMIN – Hi Doris,
Click on the link provided to review the official page.
These wipes are not flushable.
ADMIN – Hi Jerome,
That is the very issue that triggered the lawsuit.
My toilet had to be repaired and replaced after use!
ADMIN – Hi David,
I don’t think these wipes damaged toilets. Clogs happened in pipes but no toilet replacements were ever needed.
They caused far more septic damage then 27.00.
ADMIN – Hi Jean,
Flushable is not the same as septic-safe.
I am so..upset abt this. We started having issuses with our plumbing backing up. My husband took the cap of in our basement and this wipes were clogged inside. I wish i would of known abt this sooner. The rebate wouldnt even cover the mess we went threw!
ADMIN – Hi Linda,
Regardless of what the labels read I would advice that you refrain from discarding anything in your sewage system.

It is always a terrible idea to flush anything into your septic.

ADMIN – Hi Dave,
I don’t see a limit per household but generally speaking adults are not likely to use this type of wipe. This is for little ones.
Not the correct settlement website- the one linked is for data breach.
ADMIN – Hi Amanda,
Thank you. It is fixed now.
It cost a fortune for the repair
ADMIN – Hi Brian,
The life lesson from this is that nothing is flushable.

These wipes have not been sold for years. I don’t believe this is the reason for your present issues.
I used these wipes
Purchased to use . Clogged up line had to pay septic tank people to come out. Everything backed up. They found out why. This product cost me over 1000
ADMIN – Hi Stacey,
I don’t think the wipes read septic-safe.
I let my son use these wipes even after he was potty trained just to be sure he was clean and had to tell him not to flush them.
I flushed them usually with no problem if one at a time, but more than one – clogs.
ADMIN – Hi Cheryl,
It is generally a bad idea to flush stuff down the toilet aside from human waste.
I’ve purchased these wipes for years.
ADMIN – Hi Debbie,
It sounds like you are a class member.
I was told these wipe was flushable thank you.
ADMIN – Hi Darlene,
It appears they are not.

Below the area intended to enter your ID # there is a path that reads as follows:

I purchased these wipes & clogged my toilet. They are not flushable
ADMIN – Hi Rose,
That is at the very heart of this settlement.
purchaser wipes destroy my skin
ADMIN – Hi Lilian,
These wipes were not known for destroying skin. The issue at hand is whether the wipes were flushable or not.
Clogged my toilets. Very costly calling plumber
These wipes are crappy after using them!
It clogged up my toilet. Had to call plumber twice.
Got these and had septic problems

ADMIN – Hi Ann,
That is not a function of this website. To be included you must file a claim using the link provided.
I did use them and they weren’t flushable, I had to put them in a plastic bag
I did use Please add me
ADMIN – Hi Anita,

ADMIN – Hi Keith,
Best idea ever.

They don’t flush down after one try…
I did used this ”flushable” wipes.
ADMIN – Hi Evelyn,
Sounds like you are a class member.
I like quality they just cause problems in toilt
I used these a lot
I used these all the time until I needed to call a plumber
I had to call the plumber to unclog the toilet and he found these wipes in the toilet pipes super fluffed up and he said here’s your clog reason ! I didn’t save my store receipt but did my plumber receipt with his phone number for proof so will they pay me back my plumbers cost and the wipes price ?
ADMIN – Hi Torrin,
This settlement is not designed to pay for damages. It is designed to reimburse you for the cost of wipes. You are on your own for damages.
Wow people, let’s not loose our heads here. #1 Whoever this Admin is has the patience of a Saint because how many times are you all going to repeat the same obvious statements?? #2 They stopped selling them YEARS ago. Not weeks or months, no they are not still on the market so stop saying things like “I’ve purchased these wipes for years” because its not possible since they were taken off the market years ago. Perhaps you USED to purchase the wipes included in this class action or maybe you never did & you’ve got them confused with the Up & Up Target brand which aren’t any part of this suit. I could go on & on but c’mon people, fill out the form yourself & submit it. These lawyers don’t work for you, you didn’t sign papers & pay a retainer to them to be barking orders for them to fill out your forms like so many of you are. How about a thank you for letting us know about this class action before the deadline passed. I didn’t see one of those. Just complaints about plumbers & fascinating one liners like I bought these & theys doesn’t flush. Don’t any of you own plungers? I think that would have been sufficient to fix the clogging problem. And I promise you NOBODY cares if you bought these so why you’re so compelled to share that en mass is odd to me. Yikes. Get your gift cards & shut down the useless comments for crying out loud.
ADMIN – Hello Again,
Did you use the wipes Julie?
Where is the form
ADMIN – Hi Josephine,

You should be able to file without an ID. I cannot provide you with one as I am not the class action administrator.
