Dude Wipes customers have one more day to file a claim to get a piece of a $9 million class-action settlement with the company after it allegedly misled people about its product.
A group of customers accused the company of making them believe its wipes were “flushable” when they were not, leading to legal action. Dude Products has denied any wrongdoing on the matter but has agreed to the settlement to avoid litigation. The deadline for customers to file a claim in the settlement is Nov. 11.

An affected consumer must file a claim to be eligible for a piece of the settlement; otherwise, he or she will not receive any money. Consumers who purchased the wipes between Feb. 5, 2015, and Aug. 8, 2023, are eligible for a part of the up to $9 million settlement.
Eligible customers who file a claim can receive up to $0.50 per product, with a maximum of five claims per household without proof of purchase or 40 claims per household with proof of purchase. Customers may submit their claims either with proof of purchase or without proof of purchase but may not do both methods.
Additional information about this settlement involving Dude Wipes can be found on its website, which was authorized by the court.

A final approval hearing on the settlement has been scheduled by the court for Nov. 16, where consumers will be allowed to speak. If a customer agrees to the settlement, he or she will be bound to the terms of the agreement and will give up certain rights to file claims against the company.
Another class-action settlement with a November deadline to file a claim is one for Capital One customers. The settlement comes after a hacker accessed millions of customers’ personal information. Affected Capital One customers have until Nov. 27 to claim a piece of that settlement.
