Cleaning-wipes suit could be resolved today

A Lynchburg woman says that she came up with the idea for pre-moistened cleaning wipes eight years ago and tried to sell the idea to S.C. Johnson & Son Inc., makers of Windex and Pledge.

The lawyer for the company calls her claim “garbage” and “frivolous.”

A U.S. magistrate judge will hold a hearing on a motion to dismiss this afternoon, reports The News & Advance.
