CVS Health medicated wipes recalled over child safety concerns
More than 75,000 packages were recalled after regulators said the wipes contained lidocaine without child-resistant packaging, raising poisoning risks for young children.
- On Thursday, July 2, the Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled over 75,000 packages of CVS Health Medicated Hemorrhoidal Wipes due to a poisoning risk caused by missing child-resistant packaging required for lidocaine.
- The CPSC explained the recall is necessary because the wipes contain lidocaine, a substance legally required to be sold in child-resistant packaging to prevent accidental ingestion and serious harm.
- Diamond Wipes International, Inc. manufactured the wipes in 20-pack quantities for around $16, featuring a CVS Health logo and labels reading "Rapid Pain Relief" and "Medicated Hemorrhoidal Wipes."
- Customers who purchased the wipes between April 2020 and April 2026 can return them to CVS Pharmacy stores for a full refund; meanwhile, remaining packs must stay out of children's reach.
- The lack of child-resistant measures created significant risk; small children faced greater danger of serious harm or death if they ingested the wipes, making the recall essential for child safety.
