🚨 Costco Kirkland Baby Wipes Class Action Lawsuit Alert 🚨

Who: Plaintiffs Larisa Bullard and Mila Corrigan are taking action against Costco Wholesale Corp. and Nice-Pak Products Inc.

Why: They’re alleging that Costco’s Kirkland-branded fragrance-free baby wipes have unsafe levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), despite being marketed as made with naturally derived ingredients.

Where: filed in California federal court.

Key Allegations:

	•	Health Risks: The plaintiffs argue that PFAS exposure from the wipes poses significant health risks to infants, contradicting Costco’s claims of the product being plant-based, natural, and toxin-free.
	•	Independent Testing: They claim that a Department of Defense lab found significant PFAS levels in the wipes.
	•	Legal Claims: The lawsuit includes negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, fraud, unjust enrichment, and breach of express warranty, along with violations of New York and California consumer protection laws.

Kirkland Baby Wipes recalled amid class action lawsuit for unsafe levels of PFAs despite being marketed as made with naturally derived ingredients. Coincidentally, when I was at Costco shopping for Onchain Summer Solstice BBQ, I remember thinking it was strange that they were out of Kirkland baby wipes. We ended up buying Cottonelle so people would have wipes for their hands after painting.
