Target baby wipe recall elevated to FDA's most severe level
FDA said the contaminated Up & Up wipes could cause serious health consequences or death and told customers to stop using them and seek refunds.
- On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration designated the Target 'Up & Up' baby wipe recall as a Class I event, the agency's most severe classification level.
- Testing revealed the presence of Burkholderia cepacia and Burkholderia gladioli bacteria in product samples, prompting the initial recall of Target's fragrance-free and cucumber-scented wipes.
- Target received consumer complaints that the wipes were discolored, affecting fragrance-free batches manufactured from November 7, 2025, to May 5, 2026, and cucumber-scented products from late December 2025.
- While these bacteria typically cause only local infections in healthy adults, they pose significant risks to children and immunocompromised individuals, potentially spreading to the bloodstream, according to the FDA.
- Customers should immediately stop using the recalled Up & Up wipes and return them to Target for a full refund, the FDA advises.
