Wipes would get 'Do Not Flush' labels to protect pipes and prevent sewer clogs.
This bill would require many disposable wipes, like baby wipes and cleaning wipes, to have clear 'Do Not Flush' labels on their packaging. It would also stop companies from claiming these wipes can be flushed. This aims to help prevent costly clogs and damage to local sewer systems by guiding consumers on proper disposal.
Today, there are no federal rules requiring 'Do Not Flush' labels on disposable wipes, and companies can make claims about flushability without federal oversight. If this bill becomes law, manufacturers and retailers would be required to put clear 'Do Not Flush' labels on certain wipes. They must follow specific design and placement rules. Companies would also be banned from making any claims that these products can be flushed. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce these new federal standards.
