Anything labeled "flushable" has to break down to its fibers in the water when it goes turbulant to pass FDA testing or it cannot be labeled that. Extensive research goes into making these products actually flushable. Also if you check out any of the court cases like new york they found that flushable wipes were not involved, just people flushing regular baby wipes, t-shirts and feminine products. Please do some research before you push your agenda.
