Popular baby wipes sold at Target are being recalled after multiple customers complained of “discoloration,” which led to testing that found a bacterial contamination that can cause potentially “life-threatening” infections.
The voluntary recall impacts Target’s Up & Up baby wipes, with both the fragrance free and cucumber-scented on the list of items the retailer said customers should “immediately stop using.”
According to the recall notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, testing discovered the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli in product samples.
“Use of products contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioi may result in serious and life-threatening infections,” the notice read. “The products are predominantly used on newborns, infants, and young children, who are particularly vulnerable to opportunistic infection due to their immature immune systems. In healthy individuals, use of the product on skin with minor lesions will more likely result in local infections, whereas in immunocompromised individuals, newborns, infants and young children, the infection is more likely to spread into the bloodstream, potentially leading to life-threatening sepsis or pneumonia.”
Target noted the recalled wipes were manufactured by a supplier identified asSapro Temizlik Urunleri, but sold at Target stores nationwide and online. The company said the recall was issued voluntarily “out of abundance of caution,” though it noted there have been a number of “consumer complaints and adverse event reports.”
Among the reports were reactions that included skin irritation, eye irritation and infections potentially connected to the wipes.
“These reports remain under investigation. Target is coordinating with the manufacturer and continues to investigate this matter,” the recall notice stated.
