RETAILERS SUED OVER "FLUSHABLE" WIPES

Walmart, Target, Costco and others are getting sued for blowing out toilets and sewer systems with allegedly “flushable” wet wipes. A homeowners association in New York state is suing over several brands of flushable wet wipes sold at the stores. The wipes claim to be safe for sewers and septic tanks because they break down easily after flushing, but the lawsuit claims they don’t break down as advertised. The lawsuit includes several photos of damaged sewage systems, and lays blame squarely on the increased use of flushable wipes. The HOA says the wipes are costing New York state $18 million a year in sewer and septic system damage.

* Well, they ARE flushable. It’s what doesn’t happen next that’s the problem.
* This is Charmin’ breakfast talk, no?
