Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP and AquaLaw PLC announce
that a proposed settlement (“Settlement”) has been reached in a
class action with DUDE Products Inc. (“Defendant”) regarding the
manufacturing, design, marketing and/or sale of its flushable
wipes.1 Defendant denies the allegations about its flushable wipes
and maintains that the products perform as advertised. There has
been no finding of liability against Defendant. Defendant has
agreed to the Settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses
associated with continuing the case.
You are part of the Settlement Class if you own[ed] or
operate[d] a sewage or wastewater conveyance and treatment plant,
such as a municipality, authority or wastewater district in the
United States whose system was in operation between May 9, 2021 and
May 31, 2024.
To settle the lawsuit brought by the Charleston Water System,
Defendant has agreed to implement certain modifications to its
business practices and has made certain representations and
commitments with respect to its flushable wipes products. The
details of these business practice modifications are set forth in
the Stipulation, which is located at
www.charlestonwipessettlement.com.
If you are part of the Settlement Class, you will automatically
receive the benefits of the Settlement. You may also object to the
Settlement and/or Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and
expenses of up to $275,000 by September 6, 2024. You may retain and
pay for an individual attorney, but you do not need to because
Class Counsel is working on your behalf.
