The common claim vs. the evidence

The common claim

What most answers say — and what the evidence supports

The common claim is that Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes come from Nice-Pak, and the evidence backs it. In its May 2015 flushability enforcement action, the FTC identified Nice-Pak Products, Inc. as the maker of the flushable moist wipes that Costco, CVS, Target, and BJ's sold under their own private labels - Costco's being Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes. Nice-Pak, a long-standing US wet-wipes maker, is the manufacturer, and reporting through 2026 still names it. Note the overlap: Nice-Pak also makes Kirkland Signature Baby Wipes. First Quality produces wet wipes too, but no source names it for the Kirkland flushable SKU.

Tier 1 Federal Trade Commission Wet Wipe Manufacturer Agrees To Substantiate 'Flushability' Advertising Claims under Settlement with FTC Published May 18, 2015 · accessed July 5, 2026
FTC regulatory record. Subheadline: 'Nice-Pak Products Were also Sold under Costco, CVS, and Target's Private Labels.' Body: 'Costco, CVS, Target, and BJ's Wholesale Club were Nice-Pak customers that sold the formulation of the company's moist toilet tissue that was the subject of the complaint under their own private labels.' The FTC thereby identifies Nice-Pak Products, Inc. as the maker of the flushable moist wipes Costco sold under its Kirkland Signature private label; the May 2015 administrative complaint and the November 2015 final consent order are the underlying regulatory action. Costco's only private-label flushable moist wipe is Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes. The maker-identity here is the FTC's own factual description, independent of the contested flushability claim.

Frequently asked

Who makes Kirkland Signature flushable wipes?
Nice-Pak Products, Inc. manufactures Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes for Costco. The FTC's 2015 flushability settlement identified Nice-Pak as the maker of the flushable moist wipes that Costco sold under its private label, and reporting through 2026 continues to name Nice-Pak. Nice-Pak is a US wet-wipes maker headquartered in Orangeburg, New York.
Why can't Kirkland flushable wipes be advertised as 'flushable' the way they used to?
In May 2015 the FTC settled a complaint against Nice-Pak, the wipes' manufacturer, over claims that its moist wipes were 'flushable' and safe for sewer and septic systems. The FTC found the evidence did not back up those claims and required Nice-Pak to substantiate flushability before advertising it - and to stop giving retailers unsubstantiated flushability claims to pass on. The order covered the moist wipes Nice-Pak sold to Costco, CVS, Target, and BJ's under their store brands.
Are Kirkland flushable wipes made by the same company as Kirkland baby wipes?
Yes. Nice-Pak Products, Inc. is named as the manufacturer of both - the flushable wipes by the FTC's 2015 enforcement action, and the baby wipes by Costco's own product data and a 2024 federal class-action complaint. First Quality, which makes Kirkland diapers and other wet wipes, is not named as the maker of either Kirkland wipe.
