What Is Wipe Out! false advertising $2M Class Action Settlement?
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 name of the case is Proskin, et al. v. Tzumi Innovations LLC, Case No. 22-cv-05919-JSR in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
What Is This Class Action All About?
Tzumi is a New York-based retail company that distributes an array of sanitizing products, including vacuums, wipes and masks.
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.
Tzumi Innovations denies any wrongdoing and denies the allegations.
In order to receive a Wipe Out! settlement payment, class members must submit a claim for each of the products purchased during the class period.
Class members who have valid proof of purchase will be entitled to submit a claim for $3 per product purchased, up to a maximum of $15.
Those who do not have proof of purchase are entitled to submit a claim for $2 per product purchased, up to $6 in cash.
If the total dollar amount of all valid claims is more than the available portion of the settlement fund, the payout will be proportionally decreased to account for the available portion of the fund. If the total amount of all valid claims is lower than the settlement fund, the maximums will be increased to $50 for those with proof of purchase and $25 for those without.
