The attorneys at Morgan & Morgan investigated potential lawsuits on behalf of consumers who used flushable wipes and experienced plumbing problems, including toilet clogs. Although these wipes are often labeled as flushable, biodegradable, and sewer and septic safe, it is believed that some of these products do not actually break down in water and can cause serious plumbing problems.
Reportedly, consumers have spent hundreds of dollars unclogging blocked pipes, while wastewater treatment plants have spent millions repairing and replacing machinery that could not process the wipes.
