Kimberly-Clark Faces $500 Million Lawsuit for Ebola Protection Claims

Kleenex tissue maker Kimberly-Clark Corp is being sued for more than $500 million for allegedly falsely claiming their surgical gowns protect against Ebola. California law firm Eagan Avenatti filed the suit Wednesday saying Kimberly-Clark continued to claim the “MICROCOOL Breathable High Performance Surgical Gown” provided the highest protection, despite failing industry tests for protection against infectious diseases, including Ebola. The law firm says millions of the gowns have been sold since 2011, putting healthcare workers and patients at “considerable risk,” reports Reuters. “Kimberly-Clark needs to immediately recall these gowns and come clean with the FDA, CDC, healthcare professionals and the general public,” lead attorney Michael Avenatti said in a statement.
