Supreme Court of British Columbia confirms class-action lawsuit against Kimberly-Clark for 2020 recall of Cottonelle wipes due to quality and potential bacterial contamination.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia has confirmed a class-action lawsuit against Kimberly-Clark due to its 2020 recall of Cottonelle Flushable Wipes and Cottonelle Gentle Plus Flushable Wipes. The recall was due to concerns about products not meeting high-quality standards and potential bacterial contamination from Pluralibacter gergoviae, which can cause infections, especially for people with weakened immune systems. The lawsuit seeks justice for those who claim to have been harmed by the allegedly defective wipes.
