What's This Settlement About?

The full list of brands included in this class action settlement are:• Cottonelle,
• FreshCare,
• Kotex,
• Pull-Ups,
• Poise,
• ReadyWipe,
Kimberly-Clark is a producer of home products and goods and markets to 175 countries. Their website claims that nearly one-quarter of the entire world's population uses their products, such as Viva, Scott, Cottonelle, Kleenex, and many more.
