The United States Supreme Court refused a request to hear arguments regarding whether or not a consumer can bring a case for false advertising about flushable wipes. The plaintiff had prevailed at the appellate level, and now defendant Kimberly Clark Corporation’s hopes are down the drain.
Jennifer Davidson, a consumer, brought a class-action lawsuit in a California district court for false advertising of Scott Naturals Flushable Moist Wipes, claiming its ads violated California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act and False Advertising Law, and Unfair Competition Law.

Consumer Litigation plaintiffs usually seek injunctive relief, rather than damages. Plaintiffs are generally requesting that defendants refrain from packaging and advertising a product in a certain way. The threat of suffering future harm is required for injunctive relief.
If you believe you have been the victim of false advertising, contact a local consumer protection attorney. A legal adviser can best inform you of your standing and rights concerning false advertising.
