Tzumi Innovations agreed to a $2 million nationwide class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it used false marketing to lead consumers to incorrectly believe its Wipe Out! products were safe and legal to use as surface disinfectants. No proof of purchase is required for consumers to benefit from the Wipe Out! settlement.
The settlement benefits anyone who purchased Wipe Out! Wipes, Wipe Out! Multi-Surface Wipes or Wipe Out! Multi-Surface Decontaminant Spray in the United States on or before April 19, 2023.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit alleged that, during the COVID-19 public health crisis, Tzumi Innovations engaged in deceptive business practices by intentionally deceiving consumers into thinking its Wipe Out! products were approved pesticide products the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had found to be safe and effective on surfaces when the company had not submitted them to the EPA for registration.
