Target Baby Wipes Recalled for Serious Bacteria Risk
FDA testing found Burkholderia bacteria in the wipes after customer complaints of discoloration and reports of skin irritation and infections.
- On Thursday, June 4, Target announced a voluntary recall of its Fragrance-Free Baby Wipes and Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes after testing identified contamination with Burkholderia bacteria, which pose serious health risks.
- The recall follows consumer complaints about discolored products and adverse health effects, prompting The FDA to confirm the presence of Burkholderia in product samples.
- Affected items include specific pack sizes with UPC 085239265970216, which The FDA warns are particularly dangerous for newborns, infants, and young children due to their immature immune systems.
- Consumers should immediately stop using recalled products and return them to any Target store for a full refund, or contact Target Guest Relations at 1-800-440-0680 for information.
- According to The FDA, the bacteria can be resistant to antibiotics, posing severe threats that may result in life-threatening sepsis or pneumonia in newborns, infants, and immunocompromised users.
